Jeff Brown (Flat Stanley)

Flat Stanley Stanley Lambchop wakes up one morning to find a notice-board has dropped on him in the night, leaving him happy and healthy, but only half an inch thick. It's a little unusual, but he finds he can fly like a kite, be sent on holiday through the post and can use his special new skills to catch some art thieves. Still, he's glad when his brother Arthur thinks to use the bicycle pump to inflate him back to his normal shape.

Join Stanley Lambchop for two sparkling stories in one book! In "Stanley and the Magic Lamp", Stanley finds a real genie inside a teapot. Now his family can wish for anything: fame, a magical pet, superpowers. But being famous can be exhausting. Can Stanley reverse the wishes? In "Stanley's Christmas Adventure", Santa Claus is fed up. No one appreciates Christmas any more, so why should he deliver any presents? But Christmas must be saved. Can Stanley help?

The Lambchops are baffled when Stanley becomes invisible eating raisins during a storm. Doctor Dan says eating fruit in bad weather can have strange effects but can't think how to cure him. Stanley becomes a hero, using his invisibility to catch bank robbers.

Stanley Lambchop is polishing his mother's birthday teapot when a boy genie appears out of the spout. Prince Haraz is mischievous and young genie, and very happy to grant Mrs Lambchop's wish to be famous. He also helps Mr Lambchop beat the horrible tennis player Tom McRude, and creates a lionphant when Stanley and Arthur can't decide which animals they want. But Prince Haraz misses his home and his friends, and is delighted when Stanley wishes him free of the lamp.
