Where's my stick? by Fifi Colston

Over time Maxie finds a number of sticks in varying sizes and buries them in the sand. However, each stick disappears due to natural changes in the environment. Finally, Maxie buries the largest stick with another pile of sticks as a marker and to her surprise as well as finding the stick, Maxie finds some new four-legged companions!

This is a short entertaining story set at the beach with full page colourful illustrations of Maxie and various sea creatures and will appeal to younger readers. 

Themes: Puppies, Resilience, Perseverance.
