What holds more imaginative possibility than a cardboard box? A stick, of course! In this second book by New York Times bestselling author and Theodore Seuss Geisel Honoree Antoinette Portis, a plain old stick is a gateway to new worlds of play and wonder, where nothing is as ordinary as it seems. A stick is not just a stick: it's a conductor's wand, a painter's paintbrush, a knight's sword -- and anything else you can dream up! Written and illustrated with the same spare simplicity that made Not a Box such a hit, the playtime possibilities of a stick will inspire and delight any child who has ever journeyed into the world of make-believe.
