Illustrated by
Bill Slavin.
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.
