Description

Stick Insect is IN LOVE! Just think of all the fun and laughter he will have with his perfect partner - surfing the ocean waves, racing on speeding motorcycles with the wind in his feelers, dancing the hula - whoop-di-whoop! But . . . there's something not quite right about Stick Insect's new sweetheart, and Butterfly seems to have spotted the problem . . . "IT'S A STICK!" Oh dear, the course of true love never did run smooth and poor stick insect is about to find this out the hard way.

Reviews

[A] book that delights with its sheer unconquerable vivacity. Chris Naylor-Ballesteros is an illustrator to watch. * Book of the Week for Books for Keeps *
Pleasingly silly it should raise belly laughs from small listeners. * The Guardian *
A hilarious and quirky tale with its clever plays on words there is plenty for adults and children alike. * The Scotsman *
[D]eliciously daft ... Chris Naylor-Ballesteros portrayal of this love story, as well as having child appeal, could well serve as a February 14th gift for that special valentine. * Red Reading Hub *
[A] truly original picture book that steps sideways away from the norm, offering up a beautiful story with heart. * Read It Daddy! *
