Product Description
The Lambchop family has just about recovered from Stanleyβs flatness when their peace and quiet is disrupted once again, this time by a very eager-to-please young genie. He does the boysβ homework instantly, produces a hybrid housepet called a liophant, and introduces Stanley and his family to the joys (and pitfalls) of fame, all because they wished for it . . . didnβt they? Long out of print, this high-spirited sequel to Flat Stanley should delight newly independent readers. (Originally published as A Lamp for the Lambchops.)
