A Roar for Stanley
Illustrated by Kay Widdowson
(Walker Books Ltd)
978-0744531633, RRP £4.50, Paperback
Under 5s Pre-School/Nursery/Infant
The quest for a roar for Stanley, a lion befriended by our young hero and his toy rabbit, leads to a cumulative tale that had the children practically pushing me aside to chorus along with me. That Stanley will find his roar is known from the start but the manner in which it was achieved, well... it was very satisfying, we all agreed. Author and illustrator have produced a jolly romp of a book that will surely charm Nursery and Infant classes.
