Description

It’s another busy day for Stanley and friends at the diner!

Eggs and pancakes, coming right up! Stanley is cooking for all his hungry friends in his diner, while Hattie takes their orders. Then Stanley bakes and serves up a special cake—all for one very special “little” customer.

Accessible text and brightly colored illustrations helpfully convey restaurants and kitchens for toddlers who love equipment, tools, and vehicles. After a hard day at work, Stanley winds down his day with a familiar supper and bath routine that makes this series a great pick for bedtime reading!

William Bee’s beloved Stanley series is a trusted model for basic preschool concepts like colors and shapes, kindness and teamwork, jobs and daily routines. Toddlers will love hanging out with this adorable cast of friendly neighborhood critters in any of the available series titles. Help your little one collect them all!

Reviews

“Stanley’s new story line of working in the kitchen will appeal to any preschooler who plays house or pretends to cook.” ―School Library Journal

“The low-key blotting, squarish format, and thickly outlined illustrations in flat colors favorably recall Lucy Cousins’s books about mouse Maisy, who may have met in Stanley her congenial match.” ―Horn Book Guide

“[The Stanley series has] steadily gained a following among young children, who respond to the capable protagonist, his dependable daily routine, and his varied career choices.” ―Booklist Online
