It’s Only Stanley by Jon Agee

Published by Dreamscape Media

Summary:  One by one, family members are awoken by loud noises and strange smells.  Each time, it turns out to be the family dog Stanley, fixing the bathtub, making catfish stew, and repairing the TV.  Finally, just as the father is about to put his foot down and send Stanley to bed, there’s a loud explosion.  The final pages show the house rocketing to the moon, where Stanley apparently has a hot date with a pink poodle.  Ages 3-8.

Pros:  Readers will the funny rhyming story and seeing what Stanley the wonder dog is up to next.

Cons:  I’m pretty sure the moon’s atmosphere wouldn’t support a pink poodle.
