About This Book
A stick man living happily with his family in a tree gets carried far from home when a dog fetches him, and his misadventures escalate as he's thrown by a child, used as a snowman's arm, and nearly burned in a fireplace. Just when all seems lost, Santa Claus helps reunite him with his family on Christmas morning.
Why We Love This
Julia Donaldson's rhyming text is a joy to read aloud, and Stick Man's desperate journey home makes the Christmas reunion feel truly earned and emotional.
