情人節的史提克勒

Lane Smith’s deadpan humor lands perfectly here—my nephew loves that the woodland creature insists on giving sticks as the ultimate romantic gesture. The illustrations have that signature textured, slightly offbeat charm you’d expect, and it’s short enough to read twice before bed. We’re already quo

My kid giggled through the whole thing, and the idea of Stickler handing out sticks as valentines is just the right kind of weird. The illustrations have that signature Lane Smith texture—gritty but warm—and it's a quick read that doesn't talk down to little ones.

The humor is so dry and clever, and the way Stickler insists sticks are the ultimate gift had me laughing out loud. It’s the perfect little Valentine’s book for anyone who loves Lane Smith’s quirky woodland world.
