Stickie and Huggie are usually in Reece’s backpack, but one day they fall out (or maybe Huggie pushed Stick and got pulled along?); now they need to find their way back to Reece. Will they have to travel all the way around the world to find him?
What a great lesson on point of view! Stickie is the eternal optimist and Huggie plays the role of pessimist. Each of them tells each stage of the journey through their lens. Plus it is a super adorable book about lost toys.
