Williambee, Stanley’s Numbers. BOARD BOOK. Peachtree Publishers, Ltd., 2017. $6.95.

Stanley and Little Woo are planning a picnic. They bring one Jell-O salad and two yummy cakes. After all the picnic items are gathered Stanley and Little Woo provide the perfect picnic for their friends. This cute board book is unique in the fact that most pages are read horizontally but two pages contain a pile of cheeses and a bundle of balloons that make the reader turn the book vertically to see the illustrations. The final page is a colorful picnic that will allow children to continue to count friends and items at the picnic.

The illustrations are colorful and inviting. We loved this cute book!

Pre-K. ESSENTIAL. Reviewer: SL.

Stanley and his cuteness is back to help teach some basic counting. The items go all the way up to ten and I like how you were able to count the items on the pictures. My daughter followed along as I pointed them out.

Stanley is getting ready for a party with his friend Woo and there's two cakes and nine bottles of milk. There in for a fun time with the other items they're bringing in. I liked how at the end it asks, "how many friends can you count?"


Final Verdict: Stanley is a classic character that is cute and appealing to children. I would recommend this to children who are in the early learning stages (2 and up) and who are starting to learn how to count. This will help them make it to ten.

Another delightful book featuring Stanley and his friend, Little Woo. They are planning a party together and each page adds items that they are bringing to the party. The last page encourages the reader to count the people at the party. As always, the colors draw attention for young listeners and readers. The number featured is written in bold, as well as printed in the corner. There are a couple pages that need to be turned the opposite direction to add some variety to the reading. Cute series.

This adorable book is a great way to introduce toddlers to numbers and counting. The latest in the Stanley and Friends series follows Stanley and Little Woo as they gather everything they need for a picnic. One jell-o salad, two cakes... With colorful, but simple illustrations and brief text, toddlers will delight in following along and wish they could join them for their picnic celebration at the end.

Stanley's Numbers is one of four concept books by Willam Bee. Families will enjoy the antics of Stanley and all his friends as they encounter everyday situations in a toddler's world. The hard covers and bright illustrations are perfect for 2s and 3s who are learning numbers, colors, shapes and opposites.

Stanley, the hamster of many careers, takes a break from what I'm sure must be a busy schedule to have a picnic with his friends. :) With the help of Little Woo, he gathers picnic supplies numbering from one to ten. This is a solid counting book for the youngest of readers. The bold lineart and bright, flat colors are visually appealing, making it easy to count the objects on the page. I like how the numbers are presented both numerically and spelled out. There are two spreads where the layout of the illustrations changes from landscape to portrait, adding visual interest because you need to rotate the book. I also like how the final page invites readers to count the number of friends gathered at the picnic.

Jack borrowed this book from the Oxford Public Library. I picked it because he loves numbers and counting.

It was a huge success. I started reading this morning and Jack jumped right in to count with me. He loved pointing out the numbers and especially the balloons and their colors.

Stanley and Little Woo are getting ready for a party. We count the items they're bringing to it along the way. I love the illustrations.

I had fun preparing for the picnic with Stanley and Little Woo. The 90 degree book turn for the tall stack of cheese was neat, and I liked seeing all the friends together at the picnic at the end.
