A very cute sequel to a very cute book. The comic/graphic novel style is something younger readers will love since it’s very popular with older kids right now. The characters, especially Stick, are fun to read and full of personality. I will definitely be purchasing this for the library.

This is a great addition to the Stick and Stone library. It goes through some great adventures that adults can enjoy along with their kids. I appreciate the strong bond of friendship and the way they show different emotions while keeping it light. Lots of laughs and great illustrations to go with.

I am definitely getting a copy of this! One for me, one for school and a few for friends.

I love the relationship between Stick and Stone. Here we have two stories, both simple but fun. I laughed and giggled at their conversations and the situations they got into. The first story introduces a "Nature Girl", who is collecting the alphabet, how many times have we tried this activity with our pupils? Here we see the story from the perspective of Stick and Stone. (Get ready for some giggles.)
Then story two is just as funny but involves a visit to the beach.

What a wonderful book! Can not wait to get a physical copy. Thank you for the preview Netgalley.

Stick and Stone follow two friends (a stick and a stone) as they navigate their life in the forest. They talk about their fears, and have an appropriate amount of silliness as they watch a girl collecting the alphabet from the forest.

Overall, this book was entertaining and touched on a lot of subjects that are ideal for a classroom (or home) setting, such as fears and the alphabet. Stick and Stone legitimize each other's fears, and make them more "matter of fact" rather than something to make fun of or have bigger issues with. This book also touches on some of the letters of the alphabet, focusing on early learning skills. I would definitely be able to adapt this book into a home or school library with ease.

The illustrations are phenomenal, and I really enjoyed reading and reviewing this book.

Thank you to the author, illustrator, publisher and Net Galley for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Stick and Stone Explore More was such a fun book for me and my baby to read together. The artwork is so bold and colorful, which really helped keep my little one engaged. We loved following Stick and Stone as they explored, it was a fun story that was great for little ones.

Children’s graphic novels are so popular right now and we have many Stick & Stone fans in our area. Will be a great addition.

Stick and Stone are back for two new adventures. This book contains two new stories. The first is Stick and Stone and the Nature Girl. This story talks about fears. Our lovable duo are scooped up by a Nature Girl who is doing a nature scavenger hunt with her Nature Girl group. She collects all of her objects and they are all a bit afraid of what is happening to them, but in the end she places each object back where it belongs. This is a good lesson on bravery as well as leaving nature as you found it. There is also some humor as our characters are called Rock and Twig by the Nature Girl. After the story, there is a nature checklist to complete. The second story involves the duo going on a journey to find ice-cream when they are again picked up. This time Stone becomes part of a makeshift fire pit and Stick is about to get roasted. Afterwards, there is a recipe for s'mores.
This is a great book for children who don't necessarily like to read and prefer more of a graphic novel style. It is also obviously perfect for fans of Stick and Stone.

A really sweet book with fabulous illustrations. The would be a wonderful read for some of our lower level KS3 students.

This book was cute, funny, and sweet. It was a great adventure and I love how Stick and Stone were always kind to each other and never left each other, even when they got mad at each other. I like how they always stuck together. This graphic novel is an excellent extension of the Stick and Stone stories in the picture books and I will definitely be purchasing it for my library, I think my students will love it.

Thank you, NetGalley for allowing me the opportunity to review this title.

This title was lots of fun, beautiful graphics and illustrations throughout with lots of color. Also, it was packed with adventure which really held my interests throughout the book. It looks to be for the age range of maybe 6-9 years old, but I can see parents reading it to younger kids to get them interested in reading themselves.

Stick and Stone is the third book in the Stick and Stone series. It is an adorable early reader graphic novel. Both my kids and I loved the characters! This book includes two stories. Stick and Stone go on a nature hunt adventure with a little girl who is trying to find nature items from A to Z. Lots of learning opportunities in this cute story. I think this is a perfect early reader intro to graphic novels for younger kids.
I was given an ARC of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you to NetGalley and Clarion Books for an early E-ARC of this beginning readers graphic novel.

I love the Stick and Stone books. They are wonderful stories about friendship and this title will be a fantastic bridge from picture books to graphic novels for beginning readers. It is two sweet stories about nature and friends sticking together and supporting one another. Told with humor and fun, this graphic novel with be a hit with younger students who are just finding a love of the format as well as with more experienced graphic novel fans. Pre-order this title that publishes in June.

Stick and Stone Explore and More is the third in the Stick and Stone series. It contains two stories and an activity following each story (a scavenger hunt and a s'mores recipe). In the first story "Stick and Stone and the Nature Girl," Stick and Stone are enjoying a nice day in the woods when they encounter a young girl on a scavenger hunt to collect nature items from A-Z. There are humorous parts where Stick and Stone are referred to by different terms (such as twig or rock) and get highly offended by it. The second story, "Sticky Situation" involves Stick and Stone wanting to take a trip to the beach that goes awry.

This is a fun book for children, but I wish it had more stories. It was pretty short and had little variety.

Note: I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley. I was not compensated in any other fashion for the review and the opinions reflected below are entirely my own. Special thanks to the publisher and author for providing the copy.

There are two stories in this book: In the first, Stick and Stone are tending their garden when a Nature Girl comes along on an alphabet scavenger hunt. While Stone reminisces about his favorite song (the alphabet song), Stick realizes that both stick and stone start with S! Who will the Nature Girl take?

In the second, Stick and Stone set off on a quest to find some ice cream, but they end up on an adventure instead. They'll need some serious magic to get out of a s'mores party and get back to dreaming.

I love when picture books grow along with readers. While the original picture books were perfect for beginner readers who like puns and value friendship, the adventure continues for older readers in these graphic novels. The jokes are still strong, and the imagination still inspires me. Thank you to Clarion Books and Netgalley for this ARC.

Elementary readers would love this early graphic novel. Stick and Stone are found by a small child on a nature scavenger hunt. They fear they will be separated because they both start with a "S." However, she mistakes them for a "rock" and a "twig." Therefore, they are both picked up.

In the second part of the book, Stick and Stone wish for ice cream and a trip to the beach. They find themselves on a beach in a fire pit roasting marshmallows.

Elementary readers would love the illustrations, story line, and humor. Teachers could use this as a read aloud in the classroom and have the students go on a nature scavenger hunt outside. This book could also be used to teach "voice" in older elementary language arts curriculums.

I love the Stick and Stone series! Great book! I will be adding this to our collection of Stick and Stone books.
Their adventures make them more lovable!

I received an arc of this title from NetGalley for an honest review. Kids love the Stick and Stone books and this is another great story. It reads in a bit of a graphic novel form and is a lot of fun.

A fun story about adventure, being brave, and friendship. I would highly recommend this book for all young readers. Also included is a great s’more recipe page and an A to Z nature list. Each of these pages go along with the big adventures that await the the reader as they follow Stick and Stone through their fears, some fun, and a little bit of danger.

What an awesome graphic novel, Stick & Stone have such amazing adventures together. The last two panels got me right in the heart, they were so cute.

Highly recommend this entertaining graphic novel.

Thank you to NetGalley for my ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Stick and Stone Explore and More is a wonderful graphic novel for young readers. I know students in my library will enjoy this 3rd book in the series. I love that there are two stories in one. Scavenger hunts are always a fun idea and collecting the alphabet in nature would be a fun game for children.

Finding appropriate graphic novels for young readers can be challenging. Beth Ferry does a wonderful job keeping the content age appropriate, entertaining and thought provoking as well. I will certainly be adding this book to our school library.
