When Stanley Lambchop wakes up one morning, his brother, Arthur, is yelling.
A bulletin board fell on Stanley during the night, and now he is only half an inch thick!
Amazing things begin happening to him. Stanley gets rolled up, mailed, and flown like a kite. He even gets to help catch two dangerous art thieves. He may be flat, but he's a hero!
After a bulletin board falls on Stanley while he is sleeping, he finds that being flat has its advantages.
Chapter One
The Big Bulletin Board
Breakfast was ready.
"I will go wake the boys," Mrs. Lambchop said to her husband, George Lambchop. Just then their younger son, Arthur, called from the bedroom he shared with his brother, Stanley.
"Hey! Come and look! Hey!"
Mr. and Mrs. Lambchop were both very much in favor of politeness and careful speech. "Hay is for horses, Arthur, not people," Mr. Lambchop said as they entered the bedroom. "Try to remember that."
"Excuse me," Arthur said. "But look!"
He pointed to Stanley's bed. Across it lay the enormous bulletin board that Mr. Lambchop had given the boys a Christmas ago so that they could pin up pictures and messages and maps. It had fallen, during the night, on top of Stanley.
But Stanley was not hurt. In fact, he would still have been sleeping if he had not been woken by his brother's shout.
"What's going on here?" he called out cheerfully from beneath the enormous board.
Mr. and Mrs. Lambchop hurried to lift it from the bed.
"Heavens!" said Mrs. Lambchop.
"Gosh!" said Arthur. "Stanley's flat!"
"As a pancake," said Mr. Lambchop. "Darndest thing I've ever seen."
"Let's all have breakfast," Mrs. Lambchop said. "Then Stanley and I will go see Dr. Dan and hear what he has to say."
In his office, Dr. Dan examined Stanley all over.
"How do you feel?" he asked. "Does it hurt very much?"
"I felt sort of tickly for a while after I got up," Stanley Lambchop said, "but I feel fine now."
"Well, that's mostly how it is with these cases," said Dr.Dan.
"We'll just have to keep an eye on this young fellow," he said when he had finished the examination. "Sometimes we doctors, despite all our years of training and experience, can only marvel at how little we really know."
Mrs. Lambchop said she thought Stanley's clothes would have to be altered by the tailor now, so Dr. Dan told his nurse to take Stanley's measurements.
Mrs. Lambchop wrote them down.
Stanley was four feet tall, about a foot wide, and half an inch thick.

This is a great story about Flat Stanley and his travels. Where will he go and who will he visit. Our class room like many classrooms around the country have been inspired by this book to make our own flat people to travel, explore and visit. We sent our flat people to relatives and our flat people returned with facts from far away places, photos of new and interesting places and a great show and tell item. You will love this book and I encourage you to make yourself flat and send yourself around the world!

My 9 year old can't wait to get more Flat Stanley Books!!
He created his own "Flat Carson" and sent him off for a visit to his uncle in Seattle.......as soon as his finished his first Flat Stanley book.....
One of my older children read this book when he was in grammar school and also sent his "flat Stanley" off to visit a relative - and when Flat Stanley returned home he had had quite an adventure of his own......a zoo visit, a sightseeing trip to various landmarks

It is appropriate for my daughter and my son (7 and 5) and they LOVE to read it. The tenor of the story is upbeat, and the humor quotient is high. This is a great book for school, a great book for some early geography conversation starters, and a great book for early readers.

My brother is the pickiest kid on the entire EARTH!
Which is why I was shocked when he asked me to buy the whole book because he liked the sample. The only books my brother reads are abc books and captain underpants. In my opinion, horrible library! I would know considering I read very high level books gor my age.
Wonderful book!

The book club I founded donates a classroom set of these each year. The first year,most of the students came from homes with no books available or reading encouraged. We received encouraging letters of how much they enjoyed the book. This year, the librarian at another school suggested donating a set of books to the library. Multiple classes will have the opportunity to use them. Some of the students send us their Flat Stanleys

I had to do a project with flat stanley last year where you send stanley to a friend or realitive and they have adventures with them. Great book! I review a lot of books and you can always trust my reviews just look for the 10 year old reviewer or my signature comment. (Bad @$$ book)
