Four feet tall... One foot wide... Half an inch thick...
Stanley Lambchop is an ordinary boy. Then one night, a huge bulletin board falls on him, and he wakes up flat! So begins Flat Stanley, the first in a beloved series of extraordinary adventures. In Invisible Stanley, our invisible hero plays matchmaker, appears (sort of) on television, and fights crime. Stanley in Space follows Stanley to the ends of the Earth and beyond. In Stanley, Flat Again!, he risks great danger to save a girl from being flattened...or worse. Flat or not, Stanley is full of fun!

"For some reason (as if I don't know it) this fantastic first run classic, tugged a string in me many years ago. It might be often we remember or simply don't forget our childhood reads but at least for me, this simple story rushes out in comfort and offers a "large print" guide to quieting this still screaming, self questiong mind. Where do we fit? Where do we belong? ..... Right where we're at. :)" — Travis (5 out of 5 stars)

“Daniel Pinkwater's performance is well suited to this work. His delivery is precise, deliberate, and understated.”
“This version of an old favorite will introduce a beloved character to a new generation of younger children. It should have wide appeal.”
" This book is a great tool to use to talk about how to help one another, emotions, traveling, arts, math, and science. I like because of the family relationship. This is great to use in a pre-k setting. "
" this is one of the best books I have ever read, I've shared it with my kids, I've even taken flat Stanley on an adventure... you'd have to have kids who read this in school. "
" liked how stanley got flat by the bulletin board "
" had never officially read this book, but had participated in "showing" a roommate's younger sibling Flat Stanley around. Fun! "
" Flat Stanley was a sad story because he was flat. I would hate to be flat like Stanely. I read this story with my first grade class. The students enjoyed reading it and they could relate to Stanely's brother who was jealous of stanely because he was getting all the attention. I liked that Stanely found a little light in being flat. "
" Tate says he would give this 10 stars! I think he has found a new favorite series. He says, "I like it because in the middle, Stanley gets put up on the wall in a picture frame and he's a picture of a little girl and it's really funny!" "
" My favorite book as a child. love it love it love it. how great would it be if you could flatten yourself and mail yourself to anywhere in the world? or have someone fly you like a kite? brilliant. "
" I got notice of getting a Flat Stanley in the mail. I didn't realize it was from a book. (Then again so many good things are.) Great adventure -- for a while. "
" I really liked the art in this. The story is Kafka for the pre-school set. "
" Read this during our reading time in first (?) grade! I loved the idea of being folded up and mailed to someone! Hahaha.... "
" I love this story! As a teacher or librarian you can do so much with it. A flat Stanley can have all sorts of adventures. None of the other books about Stanley match this one for firing up the imagination. Great story! "
" i thought he was very funny and wise and that they were real clever too put him in a frame to catch a bandit. "
" Such a cute story!! :P "
" I used to love this book when i was younger. "
" I love reading this book to my students and then having them send out their own Flat Stanley! "
" easily the most important book of the 20th century "
" It was cute my fav when i was a kid that is why i gave it five stars "
" I did NOT like this book. I'm glad I missed them as a child. I don't see the appeal. It was boring and nonsensical and not the good kind of nonsensical. Just absurd. Very corny. I hated it. Bleh. "
" well its pretty ok "
" A fun early chapter book. We read this aloud in just two nights and both boys thought it was great! "
" Read this in 2nd grade, good read for kids!! :D "
" This was a hit with both my 4 and my 6 year olds. "
" I read this because we took a Flat Stanley with us on our recent trip to S. America - at the request of Byron's cousin's grandson in Texas. We had lots of fun and many of our fellow travelers already knew about Flat Stanley. Since I had never read the book, I thought I should. "
" Love this classic. Had to reread it but its still exactly as I remember it. "
" Keep travel costs down by following Flat Stanley's example... I loved this when I was younger and I love it still. Flat Stanley knows how to find a silver lining, all right. "
" My boys and I cheered as soon as we heard the voice and realized it was Daniel Pinkwater! Yay! "
