Book Summary
Meet a young seagull named Stanley. Follow him as he wanders far from home and tries to find his way back. Join Stanley on his journey as he learns how humans affect the balance of nature.





Because this book is a children's book, I would like to welcome my daughter, Martha Hill, who has written her very first book review.



Stanley Seagull by Cathy Mazur
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

"There were not any real "stand-out" parts in this book for me.  I liked that for each page you read, you got to see two really neat pictures.  Since I was reading on a Kindle, the pictures were in black and white, but I still enjoyed them.  I believe this book would appeal to children younger than I am because it was very easy for me to read.  The most exciting part about this book is that it was the first book I ever read on my very own Kindle!  This is also the first review I ever wrote!"
