Endpapers:Red with white line drawing of the stick family in many activities
I really liked this book, but I can't really tell you why. It's sort of stupid, actually. But it has great illustrations, rhyme and rhythm, and shows someone that faces hard times come out on top.....and in this case, with the help of Santa! There is a lot of clever writing, rhyming, and HUMOR. So I guess I CAN tell you why!
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!
SPOILER ALERT: After all sorts of trials and tribulations, Stick Man does return to his family.
