Colleen Gedrich's Bio

My Review:
This is such a delightful book. The illustrations are beautiful and go well with the story. Stanley is a seagull who likes food. When his cousin takes him to a new feeding site he tells him to be ready to leave when the others do but Stanley is to busy feeding he doesn't listen and ends up along way from home. One of the seagulls at the new place helps him think of a way to go home. The story has a lesson for children about what can happen when we don't listen and that we can sometimes get into trouble. This is a delightful story that I am sure children will love this book.
