Average Customer Rating: Another wonderful book from Antoinette Portis | Customer Rating: | | I've given this picture book to every child I know. Like the first book in this charming series, "Not a Stick" is about a child's ability to fashion their own fanciful world from whatever they have at hand. It is proof positive that there is rich life beyond video games and television. The simple line drawings are cheery and appealing. | Not a Stick is a fresh delight | Customer Rating: | | Not a Stick reaches out to the child's imagination in a delightful way and encourages children to keep on imagining. | Great book | Customer Rating: | | This is a must have to go along with Not a Box. Great stories and illustrations. My son loves it! | cute | Customer Rating: | | Little Pig loves his stick! He makes the stick into all sorts of things! Some of those things are a sword, horse and a paintbrush! Now if he can just get the adults to see that it's NOT A STICK things will be ok! | Its Not a Book (Its real) | Customer Rating: | | My eight year old grandson has always preferred sticks over any other toy. I thought he was a little old for this book but he has thoroughly enjoyed it. When I gave him the book, I told him that the book reminded me of him. He reads it to everyone. I also gave him "Its Not a Box" too. Recently we went up to the mountain forest...my grandson was probing the depth of the snow with a stick...when I asked him "What are you doing with that stick?", his answer was of course, "Its not a stick." | | |
