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.
Author Biography
Chris Naylor-Ballesteros is an illustrator and graphic designer. He lives in Limoges, France with his family. This is his second picture book, following the success of I'm Going to Eat This Ant.
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! *
