A giant Irish wolfhound might be the dog of Davidâs dreams in the third book in the Stanley Family series, a companion to The Headless Cupid, from three-time Newbery Honor winner Zipha Keatley Snyder.
With five children, a raven, and a pet turkey named King Tut, the Stanley house is full-to-bursting. But David desperately wants a dogâeven though his dad has forbidden another pet. So when Blair begins sleepwalking and having dreams of an enormous dog that comes to the house every night, David assumes Blair just wants a dog too. But what if Blairâs Nightmare, as the kids quickly name the dog, isnât only a dream? Is Nightmare the dog theyâve always wanted? And how can the kids keep himâwithout letting their parents know?
