This was in our first order from Amazon and because my son loves sharks it seemed like a good choice and it was. This book had small little facts with humor and a great story. My son has often asked if he could have a pet shark and this story was about a little boy who wondered the same thing. In the end he learns the truth about owning one and how he gets there is great. This is one of those rare little boy books that apeals to their sense of danger and need for anything that grosses out or horrifies their little sister. My son's favorite part was when the shark was in Stanley's house and then his friends were going to have to join him too. I would recomend this book it is fun and your kids would enjoy it.

I've read this book on 07/30/2000 in Taipei Municipal Library and the kids loved it so much. I also produced some printouts of Stanley's room from the CD-ROM so the kinds can play finding the difference of two alike pictures. This is how: when you click on some object of Stanley's room, the object would change in some way. You can use alt-PrintScreen to capture the screen image and paste it on some graphic software. I think this is not only an entertaining book as Carlos Gonzalez said, but the book is also full of interesting knowledge of sharks.

My son (4 1/2) LOVES Stanley and loved Tiger Time and the Gorilla book. He waited anxiously for Shark-Mad Stanley when we ordered it only to be disappointed because the game on the CD-ROM does not activate. On the back cover of the book, it states to click on the fish tank to launch the game but we have clicked to to avail. We even returned the book for a new one which had had the same result. I can't believe no one would test this software before it shipped or notice it for 2 YEARS!!

I have never laughed so hard at a picture in a kids book than I did with the one of Stanley hugging the penguin. (You gotta buy to see it!) It still gets me going every time we read it.

My son and I have been laughing along to this book long before Stanley became a tv star. He's 8 now and still wants to read it once a week! The shark facts are educational but the pictures are what really get ya. (Make sure you read the ingredients of the shark food.)

My son (almost 5) goes nuts over Stanley on Disney and loves sharks, so this book was perfect for him. It is full of fun and interesting facts about sharks as well as great illustrations. The CD-Rom that is included is also fun, although the text that is part of the CD-ROM has to be read by someone older than a preschooler. Music is played, but there is no voice for the text part. All in all, it is a great book and CD-ROM (even my 9-year-old daughter likes it!).

My 7 years old daughter, loved this book, she learned about fishes, and friendship. It has also a CD-Rom. Is a really good book, with beautiful pictures.It make your child think. The only but, I can think off, is that you have to buy another book to play all the games.
