Flat Stanley
Stanley Lambchop is an ordinary boy with an extraordinary problem. One night, a giant pinboard falls on top of him, leaving him completely flat. At first, Stanley enjoys the benefits of his strange predicament. It can be fun going in and out of rooms simply by sliding under the door. And it’s a hoot being posted to your friends in California for a holiday. But it’s not always easy being different, and, once the novelty begins to wear off, Stanley wishes he could be just like everybody else again. But how will he ever fill out? A classic comic story which gets children thinking about how it feels to be different.
Stanley And The Magic Lamp
Strange things are always happening to Stanley – especially on the day that he polishes his mum’s lamp and a boy genie pops out of the spout! Mischievous Prince Haraz can grant everyone any wish they choose, and he has great fun helping Mr Lambchop to beat his horrible tennis rival Tom McRude, and helping Mrs Lambchop to become famous! Even better, when Stanley and his brother Arthur can’t decide what pet they want, Prince Haraz creates an amazing brand new pet: a lionphant! But after a while, Prince Haraz starts to miss his own friends and family. Can Stanley find a way to send him home again?
Stanley in Space
Stanley Lambchop is going into space! When the residents of a distant planet send a message to Earth asking for a meeting, the President of the United States chooses Stanley to represent the human race. Stanley and his family will fly into space on the Star Scout, a brand new top-secret spaceship. And that’s not all: he’ll also meet the Queen, have a birthday party in orbit, and save a whole planet of aliens from danger! Oh, that Stanley!
Invisible Stanley
The Lambchops are baffled when Stanley becomes invisible after eating raisins during a storm. The doctor says that eating fruit in bad weather can have strange effects – but he has no idea how to cure Stanley! Invisible Stanley can do amazing things, like foil a daring robbery and perform magic stunts. But can he ever be a normal boy again?
Stanley, Flat Again
Goodness, gracious! You’d think being flat once would be enough for most boys… but not for Stanley Lambchop! When Stanley deflates after bumping into a shelf, he has to get used to living as a flat boy for a second time. Yet again, he has some wonderful adventures: he helps to win the boat race by becoming a human sail, and rescues a classmate from a collapsed building. But the bicycle pump isn’t inflating him anymore. This time, will Stanley have to stay flat FOREVER?
The Big Mountain Adventure
The world’s favourite flat boy is back! The Lambchop family are off on a thrilling holiday to Mount Rushmore, a famous mountain decorated with sculptures of former US presidents.

But soon, they find themselves in a really tight spot – even for a flat boy like Stanley…
The Japanese Ninja Surprise
A flat ninja? Stanley and his brother, Arthur, are such huge fans of the movie star ninja Oda Nobu that they decide to send him something even better than fan mail – Stanley himself! Soon enough, Flat Stanley is in Japan, seeing the country with his movie idol. But when trouble surprises them, it will take a real hero to save the day – a hero like Flat Stanley!
