Stanley in Space

A Far-out adventure!

The President of the United States has chosen Stanley Lambchop and his family to become the first humans to fly in the Star Scout, a new top-secret spaceship. Only the Lambchops could turn a quiet Saturday into an interplanetary rescue mission.

Training at the Space Center is hard work, but Mrs. Lambchop soon makes the cabin cozy with porthole shades and posters of France. Weeks in orbit bring zero-gravity omelettes and floating Monopoly games.

Stanley's most exciting adventure is about to begin. He'll meet the Queen of England, have a birthday party in outer space, and save a whole planet of aliens from danger.

Down on planet Tyrra, the tiny citizens of TyrraVille stand only three inches tall and are running out of food. Chief Pilot Stanley needs a quick calculation and a bathroom scale to help them hitch a ride to Earth. Leave it to this resourceful crew to make room on board! Oh, that Stanley!
