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.

This review is from: Stanley and the Magic Lamp (Flat Stanley) (Paperback)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Mysterious Lamp, July 5, 2005

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Stanley and the Magic Lamp (Flat Stanley) (Paperback)

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.
