In Stanley's (Stanley's Garage, etc.) latest ultra-mellow offering, the hamster goes about a typical day at his diner and then jazzes things up by "baking a special cake. Who could it be for?" The low-key plotting, squarish format, and thickly outlined illustrations in flat colors favorably recall Lucy Cousins's books about mouse Maisy, who may have met in Stanley her congenial match.
