The Musical Adventures of Flat Stanley Stanley Lambchop is your ordinary, every day, run-of-the-mill ten-year-old: normal mom and dad, normal little brother, normal life. That's just the problem – for Stanley, life is too normal. He wants to travel the world, do something amazing, something no one's ever seen before. Careful what you wish for, Stanley! One night, the bulletin board on the wall above Stanley's bed comes loose and falls. Right on top of Stanley! And the next morning, Stanley Lambchop wakes up flat. Not just a little flat...really, REALLY flat! At first it's not so bad. He can slide under locked doors, roll up like a mat, become a trampoline. His friends fly him like a kite. And Stanley's the best in his class at hide-and-seek: He just turns to the side and virtually disappears. But he can't stay flat forever – someone has to do something. And that someone in Stanley! Stanley puts himself in a big envelope and travels the world – a human letter. And the adventure begins! In a whirlwind musical travelogue, Stanley – the ultimate exchange student– scours the globe for a solution to his unusual problem. He’s stamped, posted and cancelled from Washington D.C. to France to Honolulu and beyond. And whether he's rapping with the Declaration of Independence, thwarting a robbery at the Louvre Museum in Paris, or ‘hanging ten’ off the coast of Hawaii, Stanley is closing in on his goal of being a three-dimensional boy once more. • Grades: Pre-K through Grade 5, ages 5 and up • Curriculum Connections: Geography, Social Studies, English, Visual Arts, Character Education and Multicultural Studies.
