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.

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.

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.

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.

These are great books for 2nd-3rd graders. My son did a book report on this book and enjoy the imaginary tale of the Genie. These books are great for "short term" reading and keeps the attention of the reader (8 year old boy, in my case). Fun books and I recommend them. Jeff Brown is a good author for 7/8 yr old boys attention span.

A Kid's Review
I find this book great! Very many things happen. There's a lot of magic. The Askit Basket Genie, named Prince Haraz, makes many interesting wishes come true for the main characters Arthur and Stanley. I especially liked Liophant, the funky pet that Stanley wishes for. My favorite part was the part at the end where the two brothers make a wish to go flying and the Askit Basket Genie makes their wish come true and they all go flying together.I am 8 years old, and don't read so much, but this book kept my attention through the whole book.

Stanley and his brother accidentally release a genie from a lamp and then go on a wonderful adventure. Each family member has a wish come true and learns that you may not really want what you wish for. Good lessons learned. My 5 year old loves these Flat Stanley books. This book appeals to both boys and girls.
