Stanley and the Magic Lamp (Flat Stanley)

Wow! It makes perfect sense to me that the author of this super entertaining adventure was a story editor and assistant film producer in Hollywood. As I was reading Stanley And The Magic Lamp, I kept thinking that it would make a really cute family film that every age would enjoy. When Stanley Lambchop finds a magic lamp, he also finds a genie who can grant him wishes. How would getting all your wishes granted change your life? Beyond anything you can imagine will all come to pass in Jeff Brown's wonderful book. This is a must-read for your imaginative child. The charming illustrations by Scott Nash add to the fun of Stanley's adventure.

Our family loved reading the Flat Stanley series by Jeff Brown. Because of that we ordered this book. It was about the same family. We didn't enjoy this book near as much as the Flat Stanley books. This one was maybe an earlier book in the group and was not near as cute or fast moving. If you have read all of the other Jeff Brown books then you might consider buying this one. Otherwise, there are other better written books by Jeff Brown worth reading.

I read a good book called Stanley and the Magic Lamp. Stanley finds a lamp and wishes to get answers for his homework. Then he gets an askit basket and puts his paper in and gets his answers. This book is very entertaining and funny. Read the book to see what happens when Arthur, Stanley's little brother, and Stanley make more wishes from the genie. See what happens when he starts wishing for bigger wishes. -Tiffany

We began with Flat Stanley when reading chapter books to my young son, then we began reading the whole set of 'Stanley Books'. We have loved them. The books are fun enough and interesting enough to keep the attention of a four year old over the course of several nights. There are a few pictures and they are charmingly illustrated. In this book, the plot is centered around Stanely and a magic lamp. The story is fun and although a fantasy type book, easy for even young children to grasp. Enjoy.

What a terrific book to read to your class! My 3rd grade class loved this book as we were beginning to read chapter books. We eventually read the next Jeff Brown book called Flat Stanley. Then we joined a group and mailed our Flat Stanleys to children and schools all over the world. This book is a must for your classroom library.
