Stanley Said No




A laugh-out-loud picture book about the perils of saying \"NO\" – and the fun to be found when you say \"YES!\"

Stanley is a little boy who just can't stop saying NO.

Will Stanley stop ringing the bell on the bus, over and over again? NO!
Will he queue up nicely outside the museum? NO!
Will he take a look at the fossils and dinosaurs inside? NO!

Will he pay attention to the DO NOT ENTER sign on a room that contains a large and extremely hungry monster...? NO!

Uh-oh...

This monstrously funny picture book is perfect to read aloud. Guaranteed to get little ones giggling!

About the author

Denis Angelov

Denis Angelov is a children’s book illustrator based in Sofia, Bulgaria. He studied Art Education and Pedagogy at Sofia University, which gave him the opportunity to try his hand at drawing, painting, printmaking and sculpture. Denis loves to use mixed media in his work, including gouache, oil pastels, coloured pencils, watercolours, inks, ballpoint pens and more – in fact, if it’s within arm’s reach while he’s drawing, it will most likely end up in the illustration! Before he became a children’s book illustrator, Denis worked as a graphic designer in an advertising agency. Nowadays, when he’s not illustrating, you can find him travelling and exploring quiet, picturesque towns. He also loves a good indie or folk playlist, and can spend hours searching out a new favourite record.
