Available for the first time -
four unabridged Flat Stanley books!

Stanley Lambchop is just an ordinary boy until the day a bulletin board falls and flattens him. So begins the best-selling Flat Stanley, the first in a series of hilarious and unusual adventures starring Stanley Lambchop. In Invisible Stanley, a storm renders him invisible, allowing him to play matchmaker, go on television, and fight crime. Stanley in Space follows the Lambchop family as they travel to outer space to serve as ambassadors to an alien planet. In Stanley, Flat Again!, Stanley once again finds himself in a two-dimensional state and gets to enjoy a whole new set of escapades that only a flat boy can have. No matter what the adventure, Stanley will have listeners cheering for more.


Amazon.com Review
Poor Stanley. He's a perfectly normal boy until one morning he wakes up flat. After his parents peel the incriminating bulletin board off of him, Stanley must adjust to life as a pancake. He is a boy who takes this kind of thing in stride, though, and soon he's enjoying the advantages of squashedness. Sliding under closed doors is fun, and it's gratifying to be of use to his mother when she drops her ring through a narrow metal grating. Expensive plane fare to California? No problem. Svelte Stanley folds comfortably into a brown paper envelope. There's even room left over in there for an egg-salad sandwich. But Stanley's true moment of glory comes when a gang of thieves begins stealing paintings from the Famous Museum of Art. The case seems hopeless--until our two-dimensional hero saves the day. Here is one boy who doesn't let his profile-challenged body stop him from living life fully--that is, until his brother finds a way to help him become well rounded again. Jeff Brown's matter-of-fact tone and Tomi Ungerer's witty and engaging drawings tickle the funny bone, making this 1964 classic a perennial favorite. (Ages 4 to 8) --Emilie Coulter
