La description

Stanley’s people go out a lot. Stanley is a good dog, but one night, while they’re away, the temptation becomes too great and he sneaks up onto the couch. What a wonderful experience! Soon he’s also blasting the music, dancing around the living room and raiding the fridge. Stanley’s never had so much fun! But after a couple of weeks something is missing, and Stanley realizes that partying alone has lost its thrill.

Reviews

Slavin's polished paintings of Stanley's antics and Bailey's confident, breezy story add up to a triumphant cautionary tale that will leave both adults and kid laughing.

- Kirkus Reviews

This is first-class entertainment all the way, with a last line - “If you don't believe me, ask your dog” - that's cheekiness itself.

- Publishers Weekly, Starred Review

This humorous story makes an ideal read-aloud. Dog lovers and party animals alike will howl with delight.

- School Library Journal

This is a funny, delightful book . .. even if you're not a fan of real dogs, this book is a riot.
