DESCRIPTION:
"Excellent choice for toddler story time." according to J.Prather. I loved Stanley the Builder! I tried this one out in story time recently and found it to be a great fit for my toddler group.

For slightly older children, these titles could easily serve as early readers.—Catherine Callegari, Gay-Kimball Library, Troy, NH . Myrtle is super pleased with her new home.
