 The 1st Julia Donaldson, Axel Scheffler book I dont like! November 7, 2008

I have been reading Julia Donaldson,Axel Scheffler books to my son for the past 3 years and have almost every title they have done.
I have thoroughly enjoyed reading them and he has loved listening to them - over and over and over again.
However, for me this is the first book that I find annoying to read. The 'Stick Man, Stick Man' rhyme is seriously annoying. My son still enjoys it but I don't, so I will give only two stars for the usual level of interesting background details and superb illustrations by Alex Scheffler.
For me the best Donaldson/Scheffler book is still 'Room on the Broom' - it was the first one I bought and it still gets read 3 years on. For me it is better than the Gruffalo titles too!

My 4 yr old daughter BEGGED me for this after someone brought into her school. She cries and laughs every time and loves the details in the pictures. Can't think of a book that has ever captured her imagination so much. She is very worried when I prepare the fire....

Yet again, Julia Donaldson has written a wonderful tale about Stick Man and his adventures. I love the way her stories rhyme in a fast paced way which delights both me and my 7 year old son. Even my 10 year old son loved to have the story read to him.
The book is beautifully illustrated with attention to detail which always makes it a refreshing read for children.
The story has a Christmas theme twist at the end which is truly delightful.
I would recommend this book as a gift, it will be thoroughly enjoyed!

We've had this book for almost three weeks. I've read it to my two and a half year old son approximately 56 times. I've been woken up with the book on my head. I've found him sat outside the toilet with the book in wait. If anybody asks I am now Stick Man, Stick Man that's me!
Still, at least Tiddler can have a break from being late.
Story is as rich as all of Julia's and the artwork seems to have reached a new level. If Charlie Cook ever got hold of this he'd have a new favourite.
