The world is full of adventures, especially for Stockmann, who is always in the greatest need and danger because everyone confuses him with an ordinary stick. But that's far from the truth. The beloved classic following the Gruffalo, now available as a paperback edition. Tumbling children's rhymes, not cute, never silly, but in a bright parlando that dances around the images like a joyful brook. A book for every day and for all seasons. A book for everyone, really. People and animals and trees and sticks. A book for the soulful world - and the cheerful animist in you and in me.
