Stick Kid

Summary: Great for any age!
Review: I read this to myself prior to sharing with my children...I cried...I read with my older son (age 9) and we both cried...my sister read it and cried...It's beautifully written, simple enough even for the youngest, but so touching that you'll all enjoy it! Now one of our favorites...If you like The Giving Tree, you'll love this one too!

Summary: a wonderful new classic
Review: This is a wonderful, simple and endearing book that is perfect for preschoolers. My three-year-old son loves the rhyming and simple stick figures. The author/illustrator is exceptionally good at telling and showing a warm story that still brings a tear to my eye (I really sob when I read "The Giving Tree"!).

I have been reading this book to my son as the last book at bedtime and it really helps him unwind, especially after reading smart-alecky gross-out books like "I Stink" (which he also enjoys).

Please read the School Library Journal review above for a comprehensive description of why this book is so great.
