'Stick Man lives in the family tree with his Stick Lady Love and their stick children three'
But it's dangerous being a Stick Man. A dog wants to play with him, a swan builds her nest with him. He even ends up on a fire!
Join Stick Man on his troublesome journey back to the family tree.
Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler's magical story is accompanied by a fun-filled audio CD that includes full story with music, the "Sick Man Song" (plus instrumental version) and a read-along version of the story with musical page turns.

Dated: 23rd of June, 2010
This is a wonderfully told story. The illustrations are done beautifully, and are very appealing to children. They bring the story to life. The part of the book which excited my 3yr old daughter the most was when Santa dropped in...
The book also comes with a cd featuring the story with music, The Stick Man action game, The Stick Man song, The Stick Man song instrumental version and Stick Man the read-along version of the story with musical page turns. The length of the cd is 37 minutes running time.
Imelda Staunton does an amazing job at retelling this story. And the music that plays along with her retelling involves the children more in the story. A job well done!
I found the Stick Man game to be rather slow, and didn't excite the children. It would have been better if it had a faster tempo, and if there wasn't such a long gap between doing actions.
I thoroughly enjoyed the instrumental version of the song too, and found myself singing along without the book.
There is also on the back page, a colouring in picture for kids to colour Stick Man in, however it would've been better to have it as a pull out as if we were to cut it out we would lose all the information about the author, illustrator and the Narrarator.
