Stick and stone by Beth Ferry
Koala Books, 2015. ISBN 9781742761671
Picture book. A stick and a stone! Friends? Unlikely! One is lonely,
the other all alone. But when Pinecone comes along, poking fun,
stick sticks up for his new friend, and a deep attachment develops... even if they are a stick and a stone.
Together they wander and explore, having lots of fun, until a
hurricane blows poor stick away. Stone is all alone again, searching
despondently for his friend. Will he find him? Will stick need
rescuing?
Will they ever get back together; stand together to become a perfect
10?
The simple, uncluttered illustrations in this warm-hearted
children's book, together with easy-to-read text, are sure to
delight all who venture here. After all... stones rock!
