I love reading, and SAP takes after me in that sense too! She can’t get enough of books! I love to get her books that teach her things about life whether it be how other cultures live or how animals act to different places and things like mountains she has never seen before. Unfortunately these types of children’s books are not always the best at keeping SAP’s attention.

Stanley Seagullby Cathy Mazur
Illustrated by Colleen Gedrich
“One day Stanley and his cousin Seymour were flying over houses on the bay…Seymour flew down and snapped up a large hotdog. Stanley was very impressed with Seymour’s reward.” Cathy Mazur uses humor and charm to create the world of a seagull named Stanley. Stanley goes on an adventure far from home and must find his way back. Any child would love to hear this book as a bedtime story.
Stanley Seagull is reminiscent of the classic “find your way home” tale, but told in a bite-size way for children. It speaks of man’s interventions and how they may have an impact on nature. At one point, Stanley thinks to himself, “A seagull should not live a hundred miles away from the ocean; it went against nature and the order of things.” How often do we hear those kinds of words anymore? I can’t think of anything more important than giving a child an appreciation for “nature and the order of things, ” especially in the current cultural climate. You may purchase this book at Amazon.com.
From Pennsylvania, Cathy Mazur was employed as a school librarian for 35 year, before retiring. She instituted and coordinated a program called “Reading is Fundamental,” which seeks to encourage children to develop a love of reading.
Colleen Gedrich’s illustrations are fun and colorful. She succeeds in capturing the ocean environment that Stanley loves and calls home. Also from Pennsylvania, Ms. Gedrich is a program coordinator for the International Society for Animal Rights.

The Turkeybird Speaks: “What a silly bird! He goes on a ride and falls asleep in a garbage truck! I love trucks, but I don’t think I’d like one taking me far from my home.
Mom’s Two Cents: “Stanley is one hungry seagull and living at the beach can be tough when much of his food supply has been gathered up by fisherman. When he and his friends discover a new treasure trove of food on the back of a moving truck that comes each day they can’t help but be excited. Sadly, Stanley doesn’t listen when his friends tell him to fly away and he’s suddenly whisked away to a strange place in the back of a garbage truck. His journey back is difficult, but along the way he makes a new friend and discovers just how much he loves his beach home.
Stanley Seagull is a neat little story about a seagull named Stanley who gets lost one day and has to try and get home.
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.

I was invited to review a new electronic children’s book, Stanley Seagull. The book was written by 
Stanley Seagull and his friend Seymour live near the ocean. It’s a good life that becomes even better when Stanley finally gets to sample the bounty in the big green truck. Naive in the ways of the world, Stanley doesn’t leave the feast in time and finds himself transported hundreds of miles to a dump. There, he meets Walter. Walter’s nice and all, but Stanley really misses his home, and he won’t give up until he finds his way back. But he’s so far away and it seems hopeless! Do any gulls ever make their way back? 
For this particular book review, I received the eBook version online (which was a total of 32 illustrated pages). This children’s story follows a seagull named Stanley, who lives at the beach and loves to share his passion for eating. Later, his cousin shows him a secret place to get all the food that he could ever wish for, but warns him to fly away when everyone else does. Instead of questioning why, Stanley agrees to go with all of the seagulls to the big green trucks on the pier where they find food that would last for weeks on end. But when the seagulls fly away, Stanley doesn’t notice and his carefree attitude gets the better of him. 
Book Review: Stanley Seagull 
We loved it! My kids have a strange fascination with seagull’s, so this delightful book fit right into our family! Also as the story is somewhat centred around Stanley’s desire to scavenge for food and to find the best place to do this, I think it resonated in the stomach of my 4 year old son, who is constantly scavenging for food around our house 
. I really enjoyed reading this book to my kids because it not only told a story about a seagull who gets mistakenly removed from his home and his journey to get back but it also educates children about seagull’s themselves; and there are many life lessons to be learned as well. I don’t want to go into too much detail because I think you should read this book to your kids! 
Stanley Seagull is more than just a cute story about a seagull trying to find his way back home. This story is packed with excellent lessons about friendship, the importance of listening and paying attention, greed, determination, healthy eating and environmental conservation. 
Stanley Seagull, from Tribute Books, is such a wonderful book, full of good lessons for children of all ages. The author, Cathy Mazur, tells the tale of Stanley, a little seagull who loves to eat. (What seagull doesn't? Right?) One day his cousin shows him the delicacies of the garbage truck. Stanley doesn't follow his cousin's instructions, and ends up taking a trip in a garbage truck, winding up far away from home. He learns that the world is a big, and not so warm place, and longs for his friends and his beach. Stanley learns that being home, surrounded by friends and family is the best place to be.
