Hi Everyone,
Today I am sharing one of my favourite stories with you. Stanley's Beauty Contest. Linda Bailey is a local Vancouver author and her Stanley series of books are some of my all time best books to read with students. Stanley reminds me of the golden retriever we used to have; Wyatt. He was just as mischievous and fun as Stanely is. I hope you enjoy the story. |
