Stickler is a strange woodland creature covered in sticks. Stickler found 3 new sticks! He loved sticks more than anything except for everything else in the world. He went through the forest naming everything with excitement! He wished he could see it all again as if for the first time. Then Stickler noticed something that looked like a small alien. He couldn't understand the alien's language, but he decided to show the alien the wonders of his planet. After showing the alien everything, Stickler adjusted the helmet on the Alien and got a wonderful surprise. 

Stickler Loves the World is a positive book about looking at the overlooked wonders of the earth with new eyes instead of taking everything for granted. I enjoyed the cute one-of-a-kind creature named Stickler. The illustrations are captivating. Children will enjoy Stickler and his energetic optimism.
