Stanley the Dog: The First Day of School
From the award-winning radio and TV personality and beloved two-time New York Times bestselling author Bobby Bones, Stanley the Dog: The First Day of School is a hilarious and heartfelt new picture book about a bulldog pup named Stanley and his adventures on the first day of school.
Today is Stanley's first day of school-and he really doesn't want to go. Stanley would rather dawdle in bed and dither over which collar to wear than get on the school bus. With his stomach turning into tighter knots by the minute, Stanley's worried whether a bulldog like him will ever fit in with the other pups at school.
For one thing, Stanley doesn't know any of the school rules. He rolls when he's supposed to sit. Barks when he's supposed to stay. And worst of all, he doesn't know how to make friends. But when disaster strikes, maybe all Stanley needs to do is be himself in order save the day?
Illustrated with hilariously loving detail by Stephanie Laberis and inspired by Bobby Bones's own real-life bulldog puppy, Stanley the Dog: The First Day of Schoolwill remind every reader about the challenges of trying new things and the value of staying true to yourself.

Great story!!! Love the premise of the story. Great art work! Pre-ordered and was happy to get my little art design with Bobby's signed initials a few weeks ago. So excited for this book!!!!

I love the book! I am a teacher and I would absolutely read this to my students. There are some great lessons. I pre-ordered it to get it signed by Bobby Bones. He is NOT signing the book. They are sending a signed art sticker that you place in the book. Don't give the book a 1 star based on that sticker. They are still sending those out. Great story, great illustrations!

If you pre-ordered, a signed card is being sent out separately! I received mine a few weeks ago. This book is so cute and I love the message! Great work Bobby and Stanley!!

Love the message and the illustrations are so cute! Great job Bobby and all involved, so excited to share this with my niece! To anyone worried about their signed copy, the signed part is coming in the mail later. They said should be within the next couple weeks!

The book was precious, the illustrations were so cute of all the different puppies, my son & I both loved it! I’m sure this will become a nightly read in our house for a while! The pre-ordered little signed sticker was adorable too, we stuck it right on the front page! We also got that separately in the mail for anyone wondering who hasn’t gotten their signed insert yet; patience is a virtue, I’m sure Bobby had 1000’s of those little stickers to sign! Overall love it, super cute book!
