Illustrated by
Axel Scheffler.
"Stick Man lives in the family tree / With his Stick Lady Love and their stick children three." After being mistaken for a plain old stick, Stick Man suffers many indignities--then finds himself in a fireplace on Christmas Eve. Donaldson's lively rhymes and Scheffler's comical illustrations (never has a stick looked more engaging) help temper worries about our hero's fate.
