Do all burrs have to be grumpy? Sticky Burr doesn't think so.

Very cute. See also: Pea, Bee, and Jay.

I liked this book because it was like a small graphic novel for students. It would be a good book for primary students that are starting to move from picture books to chapter or graphic novel. This book was about how sticky burr saved the day for the lightning bugs stuck in the tree and the other burrs whose town got destroyed by wolves. Sticky burr ended up being a hero for the town.

The stick has always been clever: it solves difficult problems, enjoys poetry, and ponders the music of birds and the beauty of a rose. The one thing it can’t do is speak. And because of this, no one can see that the stick is clever; all they can see is a stick. Follow the stick as he travels on a journey of self-discovery.

This is a story of froggy and finding a new home once his old one is destroyed. He is sent on a new adventure when he is captured in a jar. Froggy finally finds his way back home.

Critique of the genre- This is realistic fiction because the story is told about him. He never behaves in a way that is not frog-like.
