Stanley: Stanley's Great Big Book of Everything (Stanley)

Rating:
Summary: Great book!
Review: my 2 year old has been obsessed with Stanley and animals for a long time now. Ordered the book last week and he has yet to put it down. He eats with it, even sleeps with it. I can't even count how many times we've read it or he's gone thru it on his own. Definitely a keeper.

Summary: This is not the TV version of the book!
Review: My daughter and neice both love to watch Stanley and so I bought this book thinking it would be set up similar to the Great Big Book of Everything on the show. I was wrong. This book is not set up alphabetically as it is on the show. It has sections for Mammals, Birds, etc. It then has sub heading such as web-footed animals, spiky animals, etc. You can't just look up P for porcupine....you must go to the mammals section and then look under spiky animals. This book is full of great pictures and lots of good information, but the layout can be confusing. While i still like the book, it is a bit disapointing.

Summary: Great but not Absolutely Everything
Review: My three-year old son is obsessed with Stanley books and the TV series. It's the best show on television for kids. He knows a ton about all things zoological, thanks to Stanley, Dennis, Elsie and Harry. We've been waiting months for the GBBOE to come out. He's thrilled. The book is wonderful, but would be even better if it had a section were the animals are alphabetized, like in the television series, where they all sing out the letters until they get to the first letter of the animal in question. This would reinforce learning the alphabet. I also had hoped that there would be blank pages or sections where he could draw or paste in his own pictures -- again, as in the TV series, where the book is a kind of scrap book. It'd also be fun for the book to come with stick-on tabs to mark favorite pages.
