Stanley's Party

We are a dog family so we love stories about dogs. The plot is cute about all the things your dog might do while you are away. Illustrations are whimsical. My daughter likes it, I liked it alot.

Stanley reminds me of every dog i've ever had or ever known. In fact there is a little of his mischievousness in me. The story line flows evenly though out the book and the artwork is outstanding. Where he is dancing is my favorite. One depiction looks like one of our dogs sleeping, another looks like me trying to dance and the third like my wife,...we wont go there. A previous reviewer complained about the predictable outcome. This is a children's book and about dogs, if you want a suprise ending why buy any book? All in all, this dog gives it five big paws up.

Stanley's humans head out nightly allowing their dog a fast ride down the slippery slope of the good life. Before he knows it, a little relaxing on the forbidden couch while listening to the stereo has become the canine party of the century. Humorous, engaging, and illustrated to capture the personalities of doggies from all sides of the park, this tale is packed with chuckles and is great for read alouds to young animal-lovers everywhere.

This is an absolutely wonderful children's book -- and I don't even have children! I bought one for myself, and another for my brother (who has no children, either).The illustrations are so charming and funny, and the text is laugh-out-old funny at points.Kids -- and grownups -- will love this book!

Stanleys party is a wonderfully written and illustrated book. It is suppose to be for kids, but many an adult will break out in smiles and giggles over it. Stanley the dog, starts by breaking one little rule in life - don't get on the couch - and graduates to shattering all the house rules. In the process he discovers the joys of new experiences, and new skills like dancing, dining, and entertaining new friends - all without the knowlege of his people. Until the day when things get out of hand.....The book is hysterically funny and guaranteed to bring a smile to almost everyones face - dog owner or not.
