Stick Man Paperback Book

“Stick Man lives in the family tree, with his Stick Lady Love and their stick children three.” From the superstar duo Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler, creators of The Gruffalo, comes this heartwarming adventure about the most famous twig in literature. Part of a branded relaunch of the duo’s iconic collection, this paperback edition is a must-have for every child’s bookshelf.

The Story

Being a Stick Man is a dangerous business! While out for a jog, Stick Man is snatched by a dog, thrown by a girl, and used as a nest by a swan. From being a mast for a boat to a bat for a ball, he drifts further and further from home. Just as he faces his greatest peril—the kitchen fire—an unexpected guest (with a “Ho Ho Ho!”) might be exactly what he needs to get back to his family tree in time for Christmas.
