Years ago Robert Stanek started work on a children's picture book series called Bugville Critters. His children delighted in the stories for many years and urged him to get the books published. When the first book, 'Visit Dad and Mom at Work,' was published in 2007, he had already completed 28 Bugville Critters books. Now for the first time, all the original Bugville Critters books are (or will be soon available) in both print and audio.
In 'Remember Their Manners,' published by Reagent Press, the Bugville critters become lazy and it seems everyone is behaving badly. It is up to Mom Bee to come up with a plan to correct this poor behavior. The wonderfully-crafted story is paired with energetic illustrations and playful examples that help children discover the world around them and the joy of reading.
Robert Stanek's children are the ones who urged him to get the Bugville Critters books published and that is what he set out to do in 2004. To bring the books to audio, he began working with voice artists in 2005 and it took four years of work with multiple voice artists to get to the release of all 28 Bugville Critters audio books. Meanwhile he worked on getting the original books to print, continued writing new stories.
The Bugville Critters stories address real issues and challenges all children face as they start school, make friends, and learn about the world around them. The stories provide lessons about life, friendship, family, our world, the natural world of which we are all a part, and our environment.
Robert Stanek is the author of over 150 books. His epic series Ruin Mist Chronicles includes 'Keeper Martin's Tale,' 'Kingdom Alliance,' 'Fields of Honor,' and 'Mark of the Dragon' and was also released for young adults as 'The Kingdoms and the Elves of the Reaches' #1 - #4 and 'In the Service of Dragons' #1 - #4. He is also well-known for his Bugville Critters children's picture book series. His books have been bestsellers on Amazon.com, Barnesandnoble.com, Audible.com, and Apple iTunes.
