Stanky & Cece: Break the Rules

What does it mean to make good choices?

Best friends, Stanky, the jeep, and Cece the dog, soon discover that each adventure holds the opportunity to make the right decisions and take responsibility for their actions.

In Stanky & Cece: Break the Rules, the friends head out for an adventure, and one bad decision lands them into trouble––creating havoc for a family of rabbits.

Ultimately, Stanky & Cece learn a valuable lesson about making good choices, apologizing for their mistakes, and taking responsibility to fix what they destroyed.

Adventures can be fun and safe––when we follow the rules––and make the right decisions.

Co-authors Chad Hanstedt and Kathy Sparrow team with Illustrators Jacob Gray and James Koenig to share the adventures and valuable lessons of Stanky & Cece in this, the first of a series.

Stanky & Cece: Break the Rules is a wonderful way to introduce kids ages 3-8 to embracing adventure, exploring nature, being responsible for their actions, and making amends.

This engaging book:

encourages children to look for opportunities to make the right choices
affirms that everyone makes mistakes
teaches children that mistakes can be forgiven
appeals to kids’ enjoyment of animals, trucks, and nature
can be read aloud for story time or enjoyed as an independent read

A lesson in each book

I love the Cece & Stanky series of books. They are beautifully illustrated and each book has a lesson for children. Teachers will love the questions at the end to engage children in discussion.

Perfect for my 6 year old

We loved this book and read it multiple days in a row. My 6 year old is learning some big words like trespassing! So excited to buy the next one in the series.

My grandson’s love of jeeps and mud personified!!

The book is easily relatable to our 3 year old grandson. He could remember the characters names and retell the story in his own words after having it read to him just a couple times. His new favorite!
