Robert Stanek is the award-winning author of over 100 books for young
people and adults, including Journey Beyond the Beyond and The Kingdoms and the
Elves of the Reaches. Robert Stanek is a family man, a former military man and
an adventurous spirit. Robert Stanek lives with his wife and children in the Pacific
Northwest in the United States, and is intensely fascinated with our natural
world. He loves the outdoors and frequently takes his family on short trips to
see the natural wonders of the Pacific Northwest, including Mount Rainier, Mount
St. Helens, the Columbia River Gorge, and Puget Sound.
Robert Stanek wrote the Bugville Critters books as bedtime
stories for his children. The stories address real issues and
challenges all children face as they start school, make friends,
and learn about the world around them. The stories
provide lessons about life, friendship, family, our world, the
natural world of which we are all a part, and our environment.
Robert Stanek's children have enjoyed hearing the tales of
Buster Bee, Lass Ladybug, Cat Caterpillar, Barry Beetle, and all
their friends for many years. As they got older, they urged Robert
to bring his stories to life for other children to enjoy, and that
is what he set out to do in 2004. The first Bugville Critters
stories were published in 2007 to instant acclaim.
Cool Fact #1:
Robert came up with the idea for the Bugville Critters in the 1990s and
wrote the first book in 1996. When that book was published in 2007,
over a decade later, Robert had already completed over two dozen Bugville Critters books.
As of 2010, all of the original books are now fully illustrated and
being released in print.
Cool Fact #2:
Robert's children are the ones who urged him to get the Bugville
Critters books published and that is what he set out to do in 2004. Once
he decided on getting a publisher, it took nearly four years to get the
first set of books into print.
Cool Fact #3:
To bring the books to audio, Robert began working with voice artists in
2005. It took two years of work with multiple voice artists to get to
the release of the first Bugville Critters audio book and five years to
complete the production of all the original books. All of the original
books were first released in audio and then in print.
