Stanley the Builder by William Bee - OPTIONAL

Bee, William Stanley the Builder. PICTURE BOOK.  Peachtree, 2014. $14.95. Content: Language: G (no swears); Mature Content: G; Violence: G

Stanley's friend Myrtle has just purchased a plot of land and she has asked her friend Stanley to build her a house.  Can Stanley build Myrtle the home of her dreams?  It's going to be another busy day for Stanley and his friends.

The book combines colorful pictures, cute characters, and apt descriptions to create a well-rounded picture book.  The writing is intelligent while still being entertaining and easily understood by a younger audience.  I would recommend reading this title aloud.

EL (K-3), OPTIONAL.  Reviewer: M. Beckstrand
