Why read it?

1 author picked Flat Stanley as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

The story of Flat Stanley is so silly and outlandish, yet somehow relatable! It’s hard to believe the original title in this series is over 50 years old.

When Stanley becomes, well, flat, it launches him into adventures all over the world. Who hasn’t thought about being able to mail themselves wherever they want? But Stanley finds that being flat isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be.

Kids love this story of an ordinary boy thrust into extraordinary situations, and so do their adults!
