review 1: "I'm Stickman, I'm Stickman, I'm Stickman! That's me"... Argh!! My son adores this book. He asks for it repeatedly so I'd say it strikes a cord with little ones (we started reading this to him when he was around 20 months) but it drives me up the wall! I don't know why but something about Stickman grates on my nerves...However, despite finding it annoying, the story has a nice flow and the pictures are fab. It moves through the four seasons and ends with a visit from Santa and delivering presents so it's a nice wintery read, to me, but my boy wants it all year round.
review 2: Excellent use of rhyme and repetition to tell the story of Stick Man, would be good for read-aloud using predictable text. To everyone else Stick Man is just a regular old stick and the c... moreharacters in the story use him in a regular stick-like way (a dog plays fetch, a girl plays pooh-sticks, a swan builds a nest with him). Nobody considers that he is desperately trying to get back to his stick lady love and his stick children three! Until he kindly helps Santa, who in return helps him return to his family at Christmas.Grade level:K-2Reading Level:3.2Lexile:200LGuided reading:L less
