"This simple, silly book was a hit with Sam from the first chapter. It's intended for young readers and has lots of pictures. The prose is very plain and the chapters short, so it held Sam's full attention throughout. Apparently he also thought about it after we put it down, because he asked me yesterday, "How does Stanley eat if he's all flat?" He even asked me to read it this morning instead of watching a cartoon. We'll be reading more in this series."
"Stanley is an ordinary boy whose life changes when a large bulletin board falls on him during the night, flattening him to a thickness of a half-inch. His new shape enables him to do many fantastic things: travel to California via airmail, slip underneath doors, fly like a kite, and finally pose as a painting to capture a pair of art thieves in the local museum. Throughout the story, Stanley's brother Arthur struggles with envy. In a touching conclusion, when Stanley begins to be mocked by the other school kids because of his shape, Arthur compassionately helps him find a solution that returns him to his normal shape.
This whimsical story is entirely enjoyable, and what it lacks in depth of plot and character development (no pun intended), it makes up for in imagination. Stanley displays kindness and courage, and the reconciliation of the two brothers is heartwarming. This is a great fun read, and is the first in a series of similar stories. It's a great choice for children transitioning from picture books to chapter books, and for early readers who are aren't quite ready for full chapter books."
"Ridiculous and fun. This book made me wish a bulletin board (or other flat, heavy object) would fall on me and smash me flat, at least until I realized that I would probably just be killed. Still, being flat would be very handy sometimes."
