Summary
It’s very late, and Stanley is up to something. Will you figure out what he’s doing before his sleepy family does?
It’s nighttime at the Wimbledons’, and everybody hears odd noises. Walter looks around and finds Stanley, the dog, hard at work. ‘He fixed the oil tank,’ Walter tells his family. ‘He cleared the bathtub drain.’ But Stanley is up to something far more impressive. He’s preparing for an interplanetary trip. And guess who’s going along for the ride!

“Delightful.“—The Boston Globe
”[A] superbly absurd tale … The rhyming text is natural and paced for surprise. And the droll watercolors handle facial expressions well from aggravation to awe to admiraton.“—The San Francisco Chronicle
* “Agee and his simple, droll watercolors return with a work that manages to be absurdist, alarming, and—just when you least expect it—poignant… . Very strange, and very, very wonderful.“—Booklist, starred review
* “Agee appeals to connoisseurs of the absurd, and he shapes ridiculous developments into a tightly composed and satisfying picture book.“—Publishers Weekly, starred review
“Fun—just plain fun.“—Kirkus
“Agee knows what his young readers want—plain silliness—and he delivers. Hilarious.“—School Library Journal
