The incredible shrinking Stanley cover

The incredible shrinking Stanley

by James, Robert.

When the family washer goes on the blink, Mitchell and Stanley help out by taking the laundry over to the Eerie Laundromatic, where there are automatic button-loser machines, sock separaters, and other weird stuff. It takes special soaps and powders to make everything work, and when some of the gunk gets spilled on Stanley, he starts shrinking!
