Stanley's Party


Bailey, Linda. Stanley's Party. Illus. Bill Slavin. Toronto: Kids Can Press, 2003.

"Stanley knew he wasn't supposed to sit on the couch." But his people keep going out. One evening this normally well-behaved dog decides to find out just what lying on a couch is like, and he discovers just how comfortable life can be. A few more nights alone and he's learned to turn on the stereo and open the fridge. Soon Stanley is planning a party the neighbourhood dogs will never forget. But will he be able to return the house to its normal state before his people return? This humorous story is full of unforgettable canine personalities that come alive in the bright, contagiously energetic and richly textured acrylic paintings of Bill Slavin.
