From the award-winning radio and TV personality and beloved two-time New York Times bestselling author Bobby Bones, Stanley the Dog: The First Day of School is a hilarious and heartfelt new picture book about a bulldog pup named Stanley and his adventures on the first day of school. Today is Stanley’s first day of school—and he really doesn’t want to go. Stanley would rather dawdle in bed and dither over which collar to wear than get on the school bus. With his stomach turning into tighter knots by the minute, Stanley’s worried whether a bulldog like him will ever fit in with the other pups at school.For one thing, Stanley doesn’t know any of the school rules. He rolls when he’s supposed to sit. Barks when he’s supposed to stay. And worst of all, he doesn’t know how to make friends. But when disaster strikes, maybe all Stanley needs to do is be himself in order save the day?Illustrated with hilariously loving detail by Stephanie Laberis and inspired by Bobby Bones’s own real-life bulldog puppy, Stanley the Dog: The First Day of School will remind every reader about the challenges of trying new things and the value of staying true to yourself.

Millions of radio listeners nationwide tune in every morning to The Bobby Bones Show, the most popular country music show in America. Its host, Bobby Estell, known to music lovers as Bobby Bones, entertains listeners with his witty banter and the easy, everyman rapport he has with stars like Carrie Underwood, Garth Brooks, and Jason Aldean. Despite his fame and success, Bobby has stayed true to his roots and where he came from—the place were he learned that “Fight. Grind. Repeat.” mantra that makes him one of the busiest guys in the business. Raised by an alcoholic single mother and an enterprising grandmother who taught him to shop at garage sales, play poker, and love music, Bobby spent his childhood in the hills and trailer parks of Mountain Pine, Arkansas. But Bobby refused to limit his dreams, and when he got his first radio as a birthday present, he focused on getting on the air . . . and beyond. Full of stories from his childhood, his brushes with the best and the beautiful of music—hint: not all of them like him (oh well)—the hijinks and danger that have been a part of his journey, and rippling with his self-deprecating humor, Bare Bones is the heartfelt, honest tale of someone who has truly lived the American dream.
