Description
Stanley's home life goes awry when he suddenly finds himself with a new, feline ?sister.? Making friends with this perplexing creature is not easy. Stanley's big, friendly sniff is met with an abrupt THWACK! from the cat's paw. ?ROWP!? yelps Stanley. No fair! Even less fair is the way his people blame him for causing trouble when all he's trying to do is make friends! Is it Stanley's fault the cat doesn't understand dog talk? Given time and a bit of mutual understanding, can peace and purring reign in Stanley's house? Young readers familiar with the ?dog's eye view? of Stanley and his world will rejoice at the addition of Fluffy the cat.

School Library Journal Review
K-Gr 2-Stanley the dog is not at all happy when, without consulting him, his people bring home a cat. In spite of his attempts at friendliness, she whacks him on the nose. And no matter what happens, he always seems to be in trouble. Just as he is about to give up all hope of being her friend, she sidles up to him and goes to sleep. The colorful illustrations and comic expressions on the pets' faces enhance the story, which already contains two of the magic elements when it comes to picture-book popularity-humor and pets. This story would be enjoyable for storytime as a stand-alone, but also would make a nice lead in for discussions about getting along with others.-Sarah Provence, Churchill Road Elementary School, McLean, VA (c) Copyright 2010.

Horn Book Review
Dog Stanley's fifth book finds him trying to befriend the new family cat. He's genuinely confounded when his chases, licks, and barks terrify the kitty, which earns him the wrath of his "people." It's all as gratifyingly funny as it sounds, with help from Slavin, who gives readers a dog's-eye view (humans are depicted from the chin down) of the slapstick misunderstandings. (c) Copyright 2011.
