Goodreads

A sequel to Stick and Stone by the same author and illustrator. I liked this one even better than the first. Best friends Stick and Stone set out to find Stick’s roots. In other words, to determine what kind of tree he was before his “branch broke.”  He doesn’t succeed but discovers friendship is what matters, including from their old nemesis Pinecone. Bright colorful illustrations, silliness, and succinct text will make this a popular book with preschoolers. I enjoyed the end pages with stick depicted as different types of trees.
