REVIEW

Stanley and his friend Little Woo go to the park where they meet up with Betty!  Together the friends play with the toys that Stanley brought in his toy box.  A jump rope, bouncing balls, beach buckets, and bowling pins all get played with by the group of friends.  A mishap with the toy boats and wind-up submarine causes some consternation for a bit.  This is followed by a little bit of mayhem with kites and a remote control plane.  Finally the friends clean up the toys and head home.  This cute book presents a group of toys and how they are used, but it also shows that conflict can arise when friends play together.  A fun book to share with young children just learning to play with their toys and their friends.

Stanley heads to the market to buy food to make his lunch.  He buys bread, cheese, fruit, chips, crackers, jelly, scones, and muffins, as well as lemonade and cocoa powder. After he returns home he makes a lunch which he then shares with his brother, Herbert.  As with the other titles in the series, this board book is colorful and attractive.  Stanley is a friendly character whose books introduce readers to a variety of different places and activities.  This one focuses on grocery shopping at a market and making a lunch from the foods purchased.  A fun series for helping young children learn about some of the routine activities of daily living.
