It was very good, it was the best book I have read, and I liked having a break from chapters. I liked Stanley the best because he was the scaredy cat. I would definitely recommend it to someone else because it was the best.

Lovely book for someone transitioning from school books. Lovely version of the ‘boy who cried Wolf’ with a happy ending.

It was really funny. Stanley is a cat who is scared of everything. One day he and his friends chase a mouse into a house. The friends chase the mouse to the basement and Stanley stayed upstairs on his own. He hears noises as sees things and terrified. By accident he catches a burglar and they all call him a hero. I liked how he wasn't scared in the end. I would recommend this book.
