Matthew Glick narrates with enthusiasm and a light, humorous touch. His tempo is leisurely, allowing both words and illustrations to tell this read-along story for young listeners. Stick and Stone serendipitously become simply wonderfully friends--until Pinecone comes along and "needles" Stone and the weather takes a turn for the worse. A distraught Stone (voiced by a wailing Glick) searches for his buddy. How joyful Glick's exuberant "cowabunga!" sounds as it radiates the power of friendship. Jaunty music and mood-setting sound effects provide background; an upbeat song about the two friends concludes the production--a perfect ending.
