Fans of Jon Klassen and Oliver Jeffers will love this mischievously
funny read-aloud from award-winning author/illustrator Jon Agee
Mysterious noises keep waking up the Wimbledon family. "That's very
odd," says Mr. Wimbledon each time, but when he returns from checking on
the sounds, he's always reassuring: "It's only Stanley; he's fixing the
oil tank." "It's only Stanley; he's clearing the bathtub drain."
But what Stanley the dog is actually doing while his oblivious family
goes back to bed is deliciously absurd: he's turning the house into a
rocket ship to zoom himself and his family to another planet for an
alien encounter. This is a perfect rhyming read-aloud for fans of
irreverent tales like Click Clack Moo and I Want My Hat Back.
