    About this ebook

    Is Stanley flat again!?

    Stanley Lambchop has had his share of unusual adventures. But being flat was one thing he thought he was through with forever.

    Then one morning, he discovers he was wrong. Still, there is so much that a boy who is only one inch thick can do that a round person can’t. Maybe this time, all it will take is one amazing event for everything to finally make sense.

      Stanley is not excited to resume his flatness - but his trial makes him uniquely suited to help someone else, which is a good lesson to learn.
    • 3/5
      This book was a great continuation of invisible Stanley. The part I enjoyed best was when Stanley uses his one inch thick body to think about others and he helps them in ways none of us could. Twice he comes to the rescue and saves the day. This is a heroic tale of a boy who is not afraid of his flatness and his brother who wants to inflate him with a pump. I think the theme to this book is "everything happens for a reason".
    • 4/5
      Stars: characterizationAge: IntermediateThis book is a good example of modern fantasy, because a boy would not become flat in real life. While the rest of the story, including characters and plot, are realistic, the fact that Stanley becomes flat makes the book fantasy, rather than realistic fiction.
    • 4/5
      Stanley is flat. This brings a unique situation for him to deal with and I feel that the reader is drawn into this by humanness of having to deal with something that is the norm. Stanley doesn't like it but he eventually comes to accept it and uses his uniqueness to his advantage when he has to rescue a little girl. This allows him to embrace what is his own and still be okay. I really liked this book because I feel it's something a child can relate to when they feel there is something that child may have that isn't unique or normal, per say. We all have unique qualities one way or another and I feel this is very well written in that content. The illustrations were very colorful and bright and I also liked that because it also drew you into what you were reading and made the reading seem real. I would definitely use this book with older children, say from 3rd grade and up. I think it would be excellent for social studies, english, and possibly even for art. I also like it for use that includes boys. Boys can have stories, too.
    • 4/5
      This is a good example of fantasy because it is a realistic world with one key point that requires the reader to withhold skepticism. Stanley is becomes flat, but the reader can still relate to how he feels about his struggles.
    • 5/5
      Genre: Fantasy because it is not realistic for a boy to become flat and do all the things Stanley did as a flat person, such as become a sail in a sailboat and fit into small cracks of buildings.

    Stanley, Flat Again! - Jeff Brown

    A Morning Surprise

    Mrs. Lambchop was making breakfast. Mr. Lambchop, at the kitchen table, helped by reading bits from the morning paper.

    Here’s an odd one, Harriet, he said. There’s a chicken in Sweden that rides a bike.

    So do I, George, said Mrs. Lambchop, not really listening.

    Listen to this. ‘Merker Building emptied. To be collapsed next week.’ Imagine! Eight floors!

    Poor thing! Mrs. Lambchop set out plates. Boys! she called. Breakfast is ready!

    Her glance fell upon a row of photographs on the wall above the sink. There was a smiling Stanley, only half an inch thick, his big bulletin board having fallen from the bedroom wall to rest upon him overnight. Next came reminders of the many family adventures that had come after Stanley’s younger brother, Arthur, had cleverly blown him round again with a bicycle pump. There were the brothers with Prince Haraz, the young genie who had granted wishes for them all after being accidentally summoned by Stanley from a lamp. There was the entire family with Santa Claus and his daughter, Sarah, taken during a Christmas visit to the North Pole. There was the family again in Washington, D.C., in the office of the President of the United States, who had asked them to undertake a secret mission into outer space. The last picture showed Arthur standing beside a balloon on which Mrs. Lambchop had painted a picture of Stanley’s face. The balloon, its string in fact held by Stanley, had been a valuable guide to his presence, since he was invisible at the time. Boys! she called again. Breakfast!

    In their bedroom, Stanley and Arthur had finished dressing.

    While Stanley filled his backpack, Arthur bounced a tennis ball. Let’s go, he said. Here! Catch!

    Stanley had just reached for a book on the shelf by his bed. The ball struck his back as he turned, and he banged his shoulder on a corner of the shelf.

    Ouch!

    Sorry, Arthur said. But let’s go, okay? You know how long—STANLEY!
