Stanley's School - (Stanley Picture Books) by William Bee

Book Synopsis

It's another busy day for Stanley and friends at the schoolhouse!

Ding, ding, ding! It's time for school with teachers Stanley and Hattie. Stanley takes attendance 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!

Accessible text and brightly colored illustrations helpfully convey school routines 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!
