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!

'Oh, it's fun, this book. Absurd, silly, laugh-out-loud funny. Perfect for a read-aloud. Perfect for guessing what happens next. Agee has done it again.' Just Imagine
'Jon Agee's rhyming text sets a brisk pace in this immensely enjoyable picturebook, but it's the interaction between words and pictures (and deadpan humour) that really makes this book sing.' 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. A picture book that poses the everyday - a family trying to get to sleep - alongside the fantastical, which feeds children's imaginations about what pets might be up to when the family aren't around...' Booktrust
'Great for children who are interested in how things work, and with eye-catching large format illustrations - ideal for reluctant emerging readers.' The School Reading List
