I bought this book for my grandson. He went to see dinosaur Sue at the Science Center in St. Louis with his classroom at school. He is beginning to read & loves books.

Stanley

My three-year old nephew recently brought home this book back from his pre-school. Stanley is a caveman who is different from the rest of his community. He does not like living in a cave, likes planting and flowers, is courteous to people and kind to animals. The book teaches kids the values of individuality, tolerance, kindness and common courtesy, stuff which might not quite be all too comprehensible to a toddler yet. I plan to read him this book again in a month or two though.

Individuality, Ingenuity, Forgiveness... Stanley Has It All!

This is the first book I ever remember reading and it's cute messages have stuck with me all these years. Stanley wasn't like the other cavemen, he liked flowers, didn't like sleeping in cold damp caves and so he did something about it! It's a sweet little story about the merits of being your own person and following through with your ideas and forgiving those people who take a while to come around.
