Stanley's Garage von William Bee

This is my 1.5-year-old daughter's favorite book. She loves the whole series. I have to say, I wasn't thrilled with them initially but after my 1,000th reading, I'm really starting to pick up on the nuances of Stanley's existence. He is an auto mechanic, a diner owner/operator, a construction worker, a farmer, and a postal worker. That is one industrious hamster. He ends every day exactly the same way, so maybe he's obsessive-compulsive? He's also very into hats.

Additionally, I've become more invested in the cast of supporting characters. Charlie is the most fascinating - we learn he's a slob and a heartthrob in [b:Stanley the Mailman|26396184|Stanley the Mailman|William Bee|https://d2arxad8u2l0g7.cloudfront.net/books/1444891739s/26396184.jpg|46398812] - but Myrtle, Hattie, Shamus and Little Woo also have their intriguing qualities. How has Hattie's employment at the diner affected her friendship with Stanley? Is Myrtle's car always breaking down because she's such a speed demon - or is it a cry for Stanley's attention? What happened to Little Woo's mother? Is Shamus a widower?

There's a new Stanley book coming out in 2017 (http://a.co/j3srnSc) where it's rumored Stanley is going into the retail business. Even if MJ has outgrown Stanley by that time I'll probably pick it up just to see how my favorite rodents are getting on. Cheers to William Bee!… (mehr)
