Valentine's Day has arrived and Stickler is out delivering sticks to his various friends to show them Valentine's love.  None of them seem to want his stick, however. Stickler is capable of learning and he has a fun surprise new skill to show us.

Stickler is such an odd, adorable character.  I love this new skill that he showed and that he learns something important about the giving of Valentines.
