Flat Stanley and the Magic Lamp is great! I like the illustrations because when different things happen the characters expressions change. In the pictures, when prince Haraz comes in the room Arthur gets scared and his expression is scared. I like the authors writing style because he adds a lot of details. There are parts of the story that don't help the problem but make the story more exciting! When Mr. Lamchop gets ready to play tennis with Tom McRude someone in the crowd sneezes. Tom McRude says get out of here! I like the lesson that is learned which is not to cheat. In the story they use magic to beat the best tennis player. They become famous for beating him and they get tired of being crowded by people and don't feel happy in the end.
I would recommend this book to elementary school readers. Elementary school readers would enjoy this book because the lessons are honesty, loyalty, compassion, perseverance, and acceptance. I have been reading this series since first grade and I like it a lot. You should go and get this book soon and see what they do with all the wishes in the end.
Stanley can’t believe it when he finds a genie inside a teapot. He can have anything he wants!
He wore a long flowing robe that seemed to be woven from stardust. "Greetings, young boy. I am Geno, the genie of this lamp. You have summoned me with your curiosity and wonder," said Geno in a melodious voice. Stanley's eyes widened in amazement, unable to believe his luck. He had heard stories of genies granting wishes, and now he had one standing right in front of him. "I am here to grant you three wishes, Stanley. However, remember that every wish comes with consequences. Choose wisely," warned Geno. Stanley pondered on his first wish carefully. He dreamed of exploring the world and having incredible adventures. He wished to become an expert traveler, able to visit any place he desired instantly. With a blink of an eye, Geno granted his wish, and Stanley found himself transported to the majestic Pyramids of Egypt. Delighted by his newfound ability, Stanley wandered through the pyramids, marveling at the ancient treasures and hieroglyphs. He then traveled to the lush jungles of the Amazon, the snowy peaks of the Himalayas, and the bustling streets of Tokyo. With each adventure, Stanley grew wiser and more appreciative of the diverse cultures and landscapes of the world. As time went on, Stanley made two more wishes, each one bringing him closer to his dreams. He became a skilled musician, playing multiple instruments flawlessly, and built a magnificent treehouse on a secluded island, where he could relax and connect with nature. Through his experiences, Stanley realized that the true magic of the genie lamp was not in the wishes granted, but in the lessons learned along the way. The lamp had shown him that life's greatest treasures were found in the journey, not just the destination. Geno sensed a change in Stanley's perspective and was pleased with the impact he had made. "Remember, Stanley, the most significant adventures are the ones that shape your character and touch the hearts of others," he said. With a final thank you to Geno, Stanley returned the lamp to its rightful place in the attic. He knew that his adventures had only just begun and that there were endless wonders awaiting him in the world. And so, Stanley embarked on a lifetime of exploration, armed with newfound wisdom and grateful for the incredible journey he had taken with the magical genie lamp..
