Stanley (Turtleback School & Library Binding Edition) (I Can Read Books: Level 1)

Syd Hoff's comical, charming illustrations will delight readers young and old alike in this beloved classic I Can Read about a caveman who's not afraid to be himself. 

Stanley is no ordinary caveman. This makes the other cavemen so angry that they chase him away. But Stanley just goes on being different, and as the others soon see, different isn’t such a bad idea after all.

Stanley is a funny story with a timeless message. As Children's Book and Their Creators commented: "Humorously demonstrates how one noncomformist can make a tremendous difference to his society."

This Level 1 I Can Read classic by Syd Hoff, author of Danny and the Dinosaur, is perfect for children learning to sound out words and sentences.  Whether shared at home or in a classroom, the short sentences, familiar words, and simple concepts of Level One books support success for children eager to start reading on their own.

Because Stanley does not act like his fellow cavemen, they chase him away. But then Stanley invents the house'and becomes a hero'in this thought-provoking, funny story about an early nonconformist.
