Review Quotes

"Stanley's new story line of working in the kitchen will appeal to any preschooler who plays house or pretends to cook." --School Library Journal

"The low-key blotting, squarish format, and thickly outlined illustrations in flat colors favorably recall Lucy Cousins's books about mouse Maisy, who may have met Stanley in her congenial match." --The Horn Book Guide
