Description for Stanley´s Stick
Paperback. A fantastic story of sticks and imaginative play. Illustrator(s): Layton, Neal. Num Pages: 32 pages, 4-colour. BIC Classification: YBCS. Category: (E) Primary & Secondary Education. Dimension: 236 x 275 x 5. Weight in Grams: 216.
Stanley's Stick is a teaming-up of hefty talents - glorious poet John Hegley and award-winning illustrator Neal Layton. Stanley's stick is not just a stick. With a stick in hand, Stanley's options are endless - he flies to the moon, writes in the sand, goes fishing, plays a whistle and rides a dinosaur - and his imagination takes over and the magic begins.
Hegley's lyrical prose captures the free-wheeling expressiveness of childhood, and Layton's deceptively simple illustrations are full of wit and character. Sweet, magical and thoroughly entertaining, this is Hegley and Layton's first collaboration.
