Description

It’s another busy day at Stanley’s School!

Ding, ding, ding! It’s time for school with teachers Stanley and Hattie. Stanley takes roll and reads a story to students Little Woo, Sophie, and Benjamin. Outside, everyone has fun in the garden, and Stanley’s lemonade and Hattie’s lovely fruit salad are delicious snacks for lunch right before a nice nap. Things get a little messy during art time, though . . . uh-oh!

Stanley’s School invites young readers to explore everyday preschool or kindergarten classroom activities within a simple, comfortable story. With bold, bright illustrations and adorable characters, it’s a fitting tale for little ones becoming familiar with a daily school routine.

William Bee’s beloved Stanley series – perfect for Maisy fans – features adorable hardworking hamster Stanley and his community of rodent friends as they work different jobs and help each other along the way. The sturdy padded picture book format is ideal for readers at a transitional age between board books and picture books, and the books are trusted models of basic preschool concepts such as colors and shapes, kindness and teamwork, community helpers, jobs and careers, vehicles, and daily routines.

Don’t miss any of the titles in the Stanley series!
