A heartwarming rhyming tale of family, courage and adventure from the creators of The Gruffalo, now available in this fantastic read-alone format. 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! Will he ever get back to the family tree in time for Christmas? A wonderfully funny story from the author and illustrator of The Gruffalo and ZOG, which have all been made into animated films shown on BBC1.
