Stanley's Stick is a teaming-up of hefty talents - glorious poetJohn Hegley and award-winning illustrator Neal Layton. Stanley'sstick is not just a stick. With a stick in hand, Stanley's optionsare endless - he flies to the moon, writes in the sand, goesfishing, plays a whistle and rides a dinosaur - and his imaginationtakes over and the magic begins. Hegley's lyrical prose capturesthe free-wheeling expressiveness of childhood, and Layton'sdeceptively simple illustrations are full of wit and character.Sweet, magical and thoroughly entertaining, this is Hegley andLayton's first collaboration.
