This was my first time reading a Flat Stanley book. I thought this was a cute story. My daughter was given this book by her teacher and they did a "Flat Stanley" project. It was a fun activity for her and her family who live in another location. I also saw parts in the story that I kept thinking there is no way any parent would allow their child to do ... no matter how flat. But I kept in mind that the story is for kids to read and having a child hero is important to the series. It also teaches kids that just because someone is different you should not treat them bad. It talks about Flat Stanley feeling bad for the way he is treated by his classmates. I will get her other books in this series.

I bought this book for my daughter because I have such fond memories of reading it. I am thrilled that she loves the book too!

I bought it for my son and he really like it. It was written with simple language that a 5 or 6 year old can read by himself. My son only asked me a few words he did not know. The story itself is even more educational. I am sure it will help kids to have postive thinking.

This book has not been read as of yet. My child knows that each book continues from the last. This is the last story in the Flat Stanley series. I'm sure that it will be as great as the first two (that he could not put down) that he has read already. These books inspired him to draw a Flat Stanley and send him to his teacher at school with a letter and see where Flat Stanley will go next. Great adventure stories! Your child will enjoy this Jeff Brown beginner chapter readers. Laugh out load funny.

This introduction was taken from the back cover of the book:

Any doctor will agree that people are not flat. They are born round and stay that way their whole lives. But not Stanley Lambchop! He has been flat once before, after a bulletin board fell on him. When his brother made him round again by blowing him up with a hose, Stanley thought he was through with flatness forever.

And then one ordinary morning, Stanley suddenly goes flat again, and this time, the hose won't work. Not even Dr. Dan's explanation can really help Stanley understand why so many unusual things keep happening to him. Still, there are things that a flat boy can do that a round person can't. And maybe this time, all it will take is one amazing event for everything to finally make sense.

Although it seems a little silly to me, my 6 year old daugther loves the Flat Stanley series. This one is no exception.
