Imagine waking up one morning to find your brother yelling in panic, only to discover a massive bulletin board has fallen on you during the night. That is exactly what happens to Stanley Lambchop, and when his parents lift the board, they find that Stanley is completely unharmed but now only half an inch thick. Being a flat boy comes with some surprisingly wonderful perks. You will watch in amazement as Stanley slips effortlessly under closed doors and gets flown like a kite in the park by his brother Arthur. His parents even roll him up, put him in an envelope, and mail him to California for a vacation. Everything about his new life is funny, bizarre, and incredibly fun. But Stanleys greatest test comes when two dangerous art thieves strike the local museum. Using his paper thin shape, Stanley disguises himself as a painting on the wall to catch the crooks red handed. Dive into the classic story that started it all and discover how a perfectly normal boy became a very flat hero.
