Stanley Thinks February Stinks

$16.99

February just stinks! Or so Stanley thinks.

Meet Stanley, the silly little pup who loves so many things about the calendar year-the celebrations, special days, and surprises-well, except the month of February.

February's freezing! And it's gloomy. And what's with the whole leap year thing? Why is February a month at all?

Join Stanley as he trots through the calendar in playful rhyme, celebrating all the wonderful things every month has to offer (well, almost every one). Along the way, Stanley may just find that even his least favorite month is filled with joy.

Who knows? Maybe there's a place for February in Stanley's heart after all . . .
