Meet Stanley Lambchop.

He's an ordinary boy with an extraordinary problem.

He's four feet tall, about a foot wide . . . oh, and half an inch thick.

At first being flat is fine.

It's fun going in and out of rooms simply by sliding under the door.

And it's exciting being mailed to your friends in California for a visit.

But it's not always easy being different, and soon Stanley wishes he could be just like everybody else.

Will he ever be normal again?

...

    Poor Stanley. He's a perfectly normal boy until one morning he wakes up flat. After his parents peel the incriminating bulletin board off of him, Stanley must adjust to life as a pancake. He is a boy who takes this kind of thing in stride, though, and soon he's enjoying the advantages of squashedness. Sliding under closed doors is fun, and it's gratifying to be of use to his mother when she drops her ring through a narrow metal grating. Expensive plane fare to California? No problem. Svelte Stanley folds comfortably into a brown paper envelope. There's even room left over in there for an egg-salad sandwich. But Stanley's true moment of glory comes when a gang of thieves begins stealing paintings from the Famous Museum of Art. The case seems hopeless--until our two-dimensional hero saves the day. Here is one boy who doesn't let his profile-challenged body stop him from living life fully--that is, until his brother finds a way to help him become well rounded again. Jeff Brown's matter-of-fact tone and Tomi Ungerer's witty and engaging drawings tickle the funny bone, making this 1964 classic a perennial favorite. (Ages 4 to 8) --Emilie Coulter...

    Acclaimed European artist and lifelong cat lover Tomi Ungerer captures the distinct characteristics of finicky felines in 140 color illustrations. In a style reminiscent of Gary Larson's personification of animals in "The Far Side, " Ungerer shows us the secret life of cats. This treasury of comic artwork will keep fans of humor--and of Ungerer's work--highly entertained....

    It's true, the world is divided between those who love cats and those who hate them. The former group can add Cats As Cats Can by prolific cartoonist, author, and illustrator Tomí Ungerer to the top of their feline-loving list of books. Cats As Cats Can is a collection of Ungerer's sketches, paintings, and cartoons, all in full color--it's 144 pages of pure cat. Pieces range from the silly to the surprised, from abstract strokes of ink to collages with postage stamps and envelopes. The excerpt from his 1983 Far Out Isn't Far Enough, a remembrance of his two beloved Burmese cats, is a fitting end to this lovely book. Ungerer writes, "cats are one of my favorite subjects. At rest or in motion, these languorous, slinky, sinuous and sensuous, wily and selfish creates have been a constant source of inspiration throughout my life." ...
