Stanley at Sea by Linda Bailey, illustrated by Bill Slavin 2008
Wandering in search for food seems to be the only option for Stanley when his owners don’t share their picnic. As he drools and trots along he is joined by three of his hungry friends. Their sniffers take them on a journey for nourishment, until they board a boat that begins to float away from the dock. They are completely surrounded by water.
“The only thing they knew was-they were moving! Houses and bushes and trees raced past. The dogs were so shocked, they forgot to be hungry.”
They continue to ride the waves out to sea. They assume that since they are Outside, they will eventually come to a fence. Will they find more food at the End of Outside, and will they ever be united with their owners?
Appropriate for ages 4-8
