Stanley Seagull ebook Review

I was recently given the opportunity to read and review the book Stanley Seagull by Cathy Mazur, illustrated by Colleen Gedrich.

It was a great book about a young seagull whose name is Stanley. He ends up wandering away from home and then trying to find his way back. On his journey he learns how humans affect the balance of nature. 

I thought the book was really great. It has a very important message, and it is written in a way that children will understand and find interesting. The artwork is also really nice and colorful. I love how the entire pages are artwork, and the text is over it. The book is very to the point, and a great length for children.
