Ordered to “Get!” when he begs at the picnic table for food, Stanley wanders down to the river and finds his good friends Alice and Nutsy and Gassy Jack.  Bored and hungry, the dogs discover a trash can filled to the brim with all sorts of delicious treats, only to watch as the garbage truck carts away their feast.  Then Stanley sniffs out a ham sandwich left in a rowboat tied to a dock.  When the dogs pile in to get the sandwich, the boat comes untied and they find themselves carried down river and out to sea.
Where are they going, his friends ask Stanley, and, in a moment of inspiration, he tells them that they are off to find the fence at the end of Outside.  What awaits for them there is the stuff that dogs’ dreams are made of!
Engagingly told from a dog’s perspective and illustrated by Bill Slavin’s wonderful pictures, Linda Bailey’s Stanley at Sea is a terrific sequel to Stanley’s Party and Stanley’s Wild Ride!
