Seattle, WA, December 02, 2010 -- Robert Stanek’s 22nd Bugville Critters story is coming to print for the first time officially on December 2, 2010. His ground-breaking Bugville Critters books are captivating the imaginations of young readers around the world. Author Robert Stanek has received hundreds of letters from young readers asking about Buster. “These are Caldecott-worthy books,” says publisher Jeannie Kim. “Every book is exceptionally written and exceptionally illustrated. Truly magical and innovative. In a fair world, Robert’s books would have already won a Caldecott or a Newbery.”
Robert Stanek quietly worked on the Bugville Critters for 15 years, satisfied with only the gleeful cheers, laughs and giggles of his children who delighted to hear his tales of Bugville and a little bug called Buster. As his children got older, they urged him to get the books published so other children could enjoy them as much as they did, and that’s exactly what Robert Stanek set out to do in 2004.
As a young child, Robert Stanek’s family was very poor. He was one of five children raised by a single mom. Books allowed Robert to escape the poverty and violence that filled his early life. “Books taught me much about the world,” says author Robert Stanek. “They gave me windows to exotic places, learning, and new worlds. I was one of those geeky kids who belonged to the book a day club. I lived as much in books as anywhere. The community library and the library at school were second homes to me.”
In “Every Day is Different,” the precocious lovable Buster sets out to learn the meaning of a day and ends up learning more about time than he ever imagined possible. “Robert takes readers through Buster’s day of discover from waking to talks with his mom and dad to school and the playground,” says Jeannie Kim, publisher at Reagent Press. “Children reading the book whether alone or with their parents help will learn a lot about time. The approach is innovative and I’ve never seen another book like it.”
Robert Stanek has been dreaming up stories since he was a boy, but it was only since the early 1990’s that his work began to get published. As a technology journalist, Robert (writing as William R. Stanek) has written for PC Magazine, Dr. Dobbs, TechNet Magazine and a variety of other leading magazines. As a technology writer, he’s has written for Simon & Schuster, Random House, Macmillan, Pearson, Microsoft, O’Reilly and other publishers. Of that, he says, “My many technical articles and technical books have helped millions of readers learn essential job skills and stay competitive. That’s important, especially in these troubling economic times.
"My children’s books are helping kids learn essential life skills. The Bugville books provide stories that address real issues and challenges children face as they start school, make friends, and learn about the world around them. Each book provides a positive lesson about life, friendship, family, our world, the natural world of which we are all a part, and our environment."
