Mr Stick and Mr Soft live together (in a loft), though their different physical attributes make things challenging… Soft’s tickly fluff gets up Stick’s nose (literally), while Soft finds Stick’s stickiness icky! Things get so bad, they decide to go their separate ways. It’s fine for a while, but quickly gets boring for both. Soon they’re back together, still complaining about each other, but happy.
The moral of this zany cautionary tale is that best friends stick together. The story brims with originality and humour, and is a joy to look at and to read aloud.
Soft and Sticky are total opposites, but does that mean the end of their friendship?
Read the full description
Soft and Sticky are best friends, but Soft's fluff always gets up Sticky's nose, and Sticky sticks like glue to Soft! After one last argument, they decide to end their friendship - life will be better apart, won't it? But they soon find they miss each other much more than they imagined...
Another hilarious and oddball story about learning to love each other’s differences no matter how frustrating, because friendships are worth fighting for, from award-winning author, Jeanne Willis!
Jeanne Willis is an award-winning children's author and scriptwriter. She wrote her first book when she was five - a slim volume about cats written in pencil and stitched together with a painfully blunt needle so that it looked like a 'real' book. After that, there was no turning back. Having been fired from her Saturday job - selling cowboy boots on the Kings Road - for chewing gum, and after a brief career as a reptile vet's assistant, she worked as a copywriter and had her first picture book published at the age of 21 (which she wrote whilst pretending to be busy creating adverts for cognac).
She has since written over 300 books and has won several awards, which are arranged in the attic where she works, along with her collection of caterpillars, pink-toed tarantula skins and live locusts. Jeanne has a keen interest in Natural History and has lost count of the number of species featured in her books, including everything from slugs to sloths. She is currently into corvids - especially Nosy Crows.
Jeanne has won the Silver Medal Smarties Prize for Tadpole's Promise , the Nasen Special Needs Award for Susan Laughs , the Sheffield Children's Book Award for Who’s in The Loo and the Red House Children's Book Award for Bottoms Up . Jeanne has also worked on scripts for TV, including Polly Pocket and The Slow Norris, and a pilot TV series for Dr Xargle .
