It's only Stanley

My review:

This is a funny story about a very clever, inventive dog called Stanley who is loved, supported and tolerated by his family, the Wimbledons.

As a picture book, this is aimed at children of 3-5 years, but will appeal to all ages for its wonderful illustrations and quirky, rhyming story.

In the middle of the night the Wimbledons are woken by a strange noise. Mr Wimbledon goes to investigate and discovers it's only Stanley, the family dog, howling at the moon.

They go back to sleep but then they're woken by banging and crashing sounds. It's Stanley again. He is very busy. They're all used to him with his DIY and he can turn his hand to anything - he's even mended the tv. After many investigations during the night they finally discover what he's up to this time. 

A silly and affectionate story about inventiveness, imagination and family togetherness. Lovely!
