Everything Happens to Stuey | 1960 | Written by Lilian Moore | Illustrated by Mary Stevens | Gateway Books

A sweet, funny early reader, Everything Happens to Stuey was written by Lilian Moore, published in 1960 by Random House, augmented with two-tone, pen & ink illustrations throughout.

According to the Preface "When Stuey opens his lab, working with his beloved chemistry set, anything was likely to happen. His Great Ideas were always getting him into trouble - from his magical cleaner to invisible ink which made his homework disappear. It seemed as if he would never be allowed to have his heart's desire - that super-duper Chemistry Set 13070. Then, unexpectedly, Stuey got an opportunity to show how really useful a Great Idea can be."
