Reviews

What a fun book about Soft and Sticky who live together but have some problems and difficult situations. When you pick up this book you are immediately drawn in by the characters on the front cover who are in a peculiar pose due to being soft and sticky! These friends live together and are often stuck together due to being soft, or sticky. However, they decide that they have had enough of each other and need some space.

With a wash and a shave their lives change and they begin independent lives enjoying a host of activities (cleverly illustrated!) With their new found freedom brings loneliness as they navigate life without each other until... they realise that friendship is more important.

This book was shared by six to seven-year-olds who gasped and laughed throughout this funny book. A definite 5 stars!!
