Stick Man by Julia Donaldson
Stick Man goes out for a jog one day and ends up in the mouth of a dog. Soon, others pick him up and use him for all sorts of things; a mast for a flag, a sword for a knight, and arms for a snowman. Each new owner takes him farther from his Lady Love and three stick children. Will he ever get back to the family tree? Rhyming text and fun illustrations makes Stick Man the perfect anchor text for practicing making inferences, predictions, and connections, retelling and summarizing, and synthesizing.Teach with Stick Man by Julia Donaldson
