It’s another busy day for Stanley and Little Woo as they explore opposites!
“Kids will be asking for these by name.” ―School Library Journal
Travel through a day with Stanley and Little Woo as they compare differences in number, time, size, and location – “Little Woo is in the water. Stanley is out of the water.” “Stanley’s paint can is full. Oh dear…Little Woo’s is empty!” The book fittingly begins with Stanley waking up and ends with the hard-working hamster back in bed for the night. Written and illustrated by William Bee, the book boasts his signature cheerful, colorful art bordered in bold black outline.
This sturdy board book series, focused on early childhood education concepts, will appeal to toddlers, preschoolers, and fans of Lucy Cousins’ Maisy. It’s a great stepping-stone to William Bee’s beloved series of padded picture books featuring Stanley and his rodent friends as they explore jobs and careers, vehicles, daily routines, and what it means to be part of a community.
