Stick Man Julia Donaldson (2009) , 32 pages Audience: Preschool Primary (K-3rd grade) Stick Man lives in the family tree With his Stick Lady Love and their stick children three. One day he wakes early and goes for a jog. Stick Man, oh Stick Man, beware of the dog! Poor Stick Man leaves his home and is forced to go on many adventures when all he wants to do is get back home. He is fetched, races down a river, becomes the arm of a snowman, and finally, IS PUT IN THE KINDLING PILE!!! Will Stick Man ever make it home? A surprising new friend may be able to help.
