Reviews for Stanley in Space

The Lambchop family saves the day in this outer space adventure - of course kindness overcomes fear and aggression.

When a message is received from the distant planet Tyrra, the President of the United States selects Stanley Lambchop and his family to travel to the planet on board the top-secret spaceship “Star Scout.” What will Stanley and his family find when they reach the planet? And why were the Tyrrans eager to have visitors? “Stanley in Space” is the third book in the Flat Stanley series. This chapter book, written for children in grades two through four, takes young readers on the madcap adventures they have come to expect from a Flat Stanley story. Fluent readers at the late third grade level should have no problem reading this guided reading level P book independently. Recommended.

The author of Flat Stanley moves away from his more fantasy-styled stories to craft an old-fashioned scifi space adventure in this latest Stanley book. The story opens with Stanley receiving an unusual call - from the president of the United States.
