Not A Stick

Not A Stick by Antoinette Portis is a book about a pig who uses a stick to play with one day. But whenever someone asks what he is doing with the stick, the reader turns the page to find out that the stick is anything but a stick. He imagines riding a horse, playing the drums, lifting weights, and fishing. It was incredible to see what the pig could do and imagine with just the one stick. I also liked how simplistic the drawings were yet it was able to be incorporated into the different scenarios in the book. This book would be fun for children to read and then make their own imaginative stick picture.
