Overview
Age range 3 to 6 The Wimbledons were sleeping. It was very, very late, When Wilma heard a spooky sound, Which made her sit up straight. ""That's very odd,"" said Walter. ""I don't recognize the tune . . . (Walter looks out of the window) ""It's only Stanley,"" Walter said. ""He's howling at the moon."" Whoever heard of a dog who can sing, cook and do DIY around the house? He makes a lot of noise and mess, but he's forgiven as does mend the TV. Not until the very end do we or the hapless Wimbledon family see just exactly what Stanley the dog has been planning all along!

Books for Keeps;'With a rhyme that romps from start to finish, a feast of visual and verbal wit, an addictive sense of fun that imbues every page, and its warm celebration of family loyalty and togetherness, this is Agee at his quirkiest and playful best!' Lancashire Evening Post;'Jon Agee's brilliantly inventive and funny rhyming picture book is a perfect repeat read. The rhymes are unexpected and original.
