Jane Harrington 0064421740 - Children's Literature Young Stanley Lambchop was first introduced in the 1960's, in the popular book, Flat Stanley . This installment of the Lambchop's adventures one of six books in the series finds Stanley again acting as hero in a far-flung, absurdly funny tale. A seemingly friendly message from extraterrestrials has been received by the President of the United States, so Stanley is asked to represent Earth on a mission to the planet Tyrra. The whole family decides to go, and after a long trip into space, they discover that the Tyrrans are in danger of extinction. Stanley comes up with a creative solution to their problems, and saves the day. Very well written, with cleverly imbedded grammatical lessons and vocabulary stretches. The humor is subtle enough for adults to enjoy, and, at the same time, plenty silly for young elementary readers of early chapter books. Cartoony illustrations are well done, and paced perfectly with the story. Originally published, with different illustrations, in Great Britain. 2003 (orig. 1990), HarperCollins, The American President chooses Stanley and his family to become the first humans to explore in Star Scout, a new top-secret spaceship.
