Customer Reviews

Fun and cute story for kids

My boys, age 7 and 3, both love this book. The characters are cute and funny and do exciting things without ever being in real danger. The artwork has lots of neat details that reward careful examination. This is a great book.

The Stickiest Burr That Sticks With You and Makes You Laugh

This book (Sticky Burr) is one of the most fascinating comic books I have ever set my eyes upon. It is exciting and adventurous. His friends are Mossy Burr, Draffle, and Princess Oralee. He saves his village from danger and destruction and is admired by everyone but Scurvy Burr (a BAD Burr) and his sidekick Spiny Burr. I love this story and I think most kids with a creative imagination and a yearning to read exciting stories will absolutely adore this book. I recommend this book to children of all ages (and adults, too). This book is definately not a waste of money and time. BUY IT. (I am 10 years old, and I wrote this, but my mother entered it for me because she is faster at keyboarding.)

Great graphic novel for the younger ones!

I'm a children's librarian who purchased this book for our collection and tested it out on my six year old son. This book and the illustrations are so clever and cunning. My son has studied the pictures over and over. The expressions and characteristics of each little burr are priceless. The storyline was engaging also. We're hoping for a Sticky Burr, part II!

This is a fun tale with a cartoon appearance

Sticky Burr is a little forest burr who sets off on an adventure to Burrwood Forest - there to be caught in the trunk of the dangerous Maze tree as Burr Village is being attacked by dogs. Can Sticky escape from his own danger in time to save his friends? This is a fun tale with a cartoon appearance and pages of fast-paced adventure; both of which invite kids to read.
