Meet Stanley who belongs to a shoal that’s the ‘brightest, sparkliest fish in the whole of the deep, dark sea.’
It shows too. Little Stanley is illustrated with shiny, golden scales that little ones will love to see and play with.
He has a little encounter with a mean ole’ shark but comes through safely.
Our 4-year-old wanted me to read it to her everyday that we had the book. (it was borrowed from the State Library.) So a good choice for little ones, especially those who are inclined to shiny and sparkly stuff.
Excerpt
CLONK!
Stanley crashed head-first into something very hard.
“Jumping jellyfish!” he cried. It wasn’t one of his friends at all, but his own reflection in a shiny pearl!
Stanley rubbed his bumped nose, feeling a little dazed. He didn’t notice a dark shape coming up behind him.
