I just discovered this Christmas cartoon, which is streaming on Amazon Prime.  I have a 3 year old, who loves the books by Julia Donaldson & Axel Scheffler  (Gruffalo, Gruffalo’s Child, Room On The Broom).  All three were adapted into beautiful cartoons.  

Well, my 3-year old is totally obsessed with Stick Man, another one of their books made into a cartoon.  We’ve watched it 4 times in under 24 hours.  Then he pretends he is Stick Man and runs all over the house.  I think we’ll watch this more than we will watch Rudolph.

So if you’re looking for a holiday cartoon to watch that is a bit different than the regular fare, check this one out!
