FLAT STANLEY by Jeff Brown & Rob Biddulph
PAPERBACK
Author: Jeff Brown
Illustrator: Jeannie Baker
Funny, imaginative, and delightfully absurd, FLAT STANLEY is a timeless children’s classic bursting with adventure, humour, and heart - now brought to life for a new generation with vibrant illustrations by Rob Biddulph.
Stanley Lambchop was just an ordinary boy - until a noticeboard fell on him. Instead of being squashed, Stanley becomes flat as a pancake! And it turns out being flat has some amazing advantages.
Stanley can slide under doors, be rolled up and posted across the world, and even fly like a kite. But being flat isn’t always easy, especially when trouble strikes and thieves arrive in town. Can Stanley use his unusual shape to save the day and become an unexpected hero?
Created by Jeff Brown and reimagined with joyful illustrations by Rob Biddulph, this much-loved story continues to charm readers more than fifty years after its first publication.
Why young readers (and adults) would love this on their bookshelf:
- A brilliantly silly, high-concept idea that sparks imagination
- Short chapters ideal for newly confident readers
- Lots of humour with gentle suspense and adventure
- A reassuring hero who proves that being different can be a strength
Perfect for fans of funny classics, school-age adventures, and stories where ordinary kids do extraordinary things.
