Review

This charming picture book will delight both children and adults. Its use of playful rhyming minimal text and beautiful full page illustrations make it a pleasure to read aloud. Stick and Stone is an engaging story of friendship between a stick and a stone. This book could be read by its expressive pictures alone but then we would miss the clever puns. It would be useful to present topics such as friendship, bullying, compassion.

Overall Book Score: excellent
