Stanley's Plan: The Birthday Surprise

Meet Stanley, the friendly dog who is always hungry. A delicious pie on the top shelf in the kitchen proves particularly tempting, and Stanley spends the whole day hatching plans to reach it, with the help of his friends Sid the Snail and Herbert the Hedgehog. But is it being kept out of reach for a special occasion? A funny romp told through infectious rhymes and bold, retro illustrations by printmaker Ruth Green, Stanley’s Plan is a gentle reminder that sometimes good things come to those who wait—especially on birthdays!
