Meet Stick and Stone.
They stick up for each other, because best friends rock!
Stick and Stoneare all alone. But when Pinecone makes fun of Stone and hurts his feelings, Stick
steps in and defends Stone. Thats just what sticks do. Friends do it too, says Stick. Now Stick and
Stone are inseparable best friends. When Stick gets stuck, its Stone to the rescue. Thats just what
stones do. Best friendship rocks too, says Stone.
Young children will love this simple story of two friends who help when bullies tease and who
dont give up when it seems like all is lost. Use the activities in this kit to explore the power of friendship
with Stick and Stone!
