My Dog's A Scaredy-Cat

Illustrated by Craig Smith.

Stanley is the biggest dog on the street. He's also pretty old. But this doesn't stop Stanley from being a scaredy-cat. Stanley is scared of big dogs, little dogs, bees, birds and butterflies. He's scared of cars, water, bridges - and even cats! Poor Stanley; he's scared of everything.

Stanley's owner wishes that Stanley was brave; brave as a lion, brave as a rhinoceros; and that Stanley would stand up and fight. But he won't and he doesn't because, after all, he's Stanley - and that's why is owner loves him so much.
