William Bee was born in London but now lives in the English countryside. In addition to writing children’s books, he races a vintage sports car, is an international skier, and when at home tends his lawns and meadows.
Through this picture book story, ostensibly about Stanley, children gain an age-appropriate understanding of how things work. With this book, which mystery is to be solved?
How to Tend a Park?
Show me a child who doesn't like parks and playgrounds...
And I'll show you a child who doesn't like to go outdoors. Really, what is there not to like at a park?
Yet inquring minds want to know: What helps those parks to be so likeable? Does that just happen automatically, akin to a daily sunrise?
MY FAVORITE INFO at "Stanley's Park"
This fascinated me, and maybe it will fascinate you too. When you read this book, you'll learn the answer to this question:
"What is the most dangerous job at the playground?"
A very satisfying answer is supplied.
Altogether there's plenty to learn. Yet readers will likely ALWAYS feel safe.
FIVE STARS yet again to author and illustrator William Bee.
The flower display is lovely. Morning exercises before the sprinklers switch on, the pedal boats are funny and safety checks ARE important. One of my favourites in the series.
