Two Sticks

Protopopescu, Orel. Two Sticks. Illustrated by: Anne Wilsdorf. Farrar, Straus, Giroux: 2007. ISBN:13-978-0-374-38022-9.

Two Sticks is about a girl that has her own two sticks and runs around everywhere. Her mom and dad tell her to stop but she runs to a creek and she is on a big log. She makes big holes in the log with her sticks and then falls into the water. There are a lot of crocodiles, and she plays with them. She is walked home on a crocodile's head and she wants to bring it in her house, but her parents tell her to get it out. Then she finally gets her own drum. I think this story is made with paint. I liked this story because of the details and it rhymes. The story shows a picture for everything, and it doesn't look so scary. I think this story is good for grades Preschool through third.
