Fun!

"– a celebration of imagination. The child has a “stick” and people keep warning him. . not to poke someone or get hurt…. but the owner of the stick feels that it’s not just a stick…it’s a sword, it’s a fishing rod…. . what do you think the stick is?"

— Anonymous (5/5)

Excellent for Imaginative Thinking

"This book is a great companion to Not a Box and is a classroom favourite. Students get to think creatively and imagine what other objects can be represented. Highly recommend."

— Jaclyn (5/5)

Great for imaginative play

"This book is a favourite with our kindergarten teachers. It helps children to explore how to play with simple, everyday items using their imagination. In today’s consumer culture, where toys all seem to be derived from movies and have specific roles in mind, this book is a breath of fresh air."

— David (5/5)

A Book for an Outdoor Learning Inquiry

"This book is similar to the story ""Not A Box"". The character in this story uses dramatic play to show many different things that a stick can be. After reading it, the children will be inspired to find sticks to decorate and play with. WARNING: Do not read this story if you do not wish your children to play with sticks. The sticks will be even more irresistible than they already are!"

— Janet (5/5)

Teacher must have

"Great book for sparking imaginative play."

— Sarah (5/5)

Love this book!

— TeacherB (5/5)
