Stanley Lambchop goes to bed an ordinary boy and wakes up half an inch thick. A bulletin board has slipped off his bedroom wall in the night and pressed him flat as paper, without hurting him at all. At first it feels like a trick. He slides under closed doors, folds into a brown envelope to visit friends in California, and soars over the park on a string like a kite. His younger brother Arthur thinks it is hilarious. Then paintings start disappearing from the Famous Museum of Art, and the grown-ups are helpless. Being flat lets Stanley go where no one else can slip, if he is brave enough to go there.
