Doug & Stan - The DIY-O-Why Store David Richardson

The fourth release in the funny children's rhyming book series about an old man's battle with his magical next-door neighbour as he attempts to sell his house.

Doug and Stan are back. Tired of doing chores, Stan is delighted to hear that someone else is interested in buying his house but first, the dark, damp garage needs tidying up. Old boxes, piles of junk and creepy crawlies await. Bleh! However, their problems are only just beginning. Dotty has heard that Stan's house is going to be turned into a factory and once again, SHE IS FURIOUS! What will she find in her magical dress up box this time and will Doug be able to stop her from causing chaos?

Real Estate Agent Paul turns up with the new Buyers to show them around but will they be brave enough to live next door to someone as mysterious as Dotty? Fans of Julia Donaldson will love this creatively written and funny rhyming story with broad appeal for children and adults alike. With an interwoven message of personal strength, Open House 2 provides an opportunity for all primary school children to develop reading vocabulary and increase their confidence.
