Kids everywhere know Flat Stanley as the boy who was flattened by a bulletin board, and has amazing adventures all over the world as a result! Teachers love to use Flat Stanley as a class read in grades one and two: kids can make a flat stanley out of paper, and mail him to classes on another continent.
In this book, Stanley's family decides to go on vacation to Mount Rushmore. But when Stanley and his little brother Arthur team up with a scrappy cowgirl named Calamity Jasper, their vacation turns into the Wild West experience of a lifetime! Pretty soon, they find themselves in a real tight spot; even for a flat boy like Stanley.
The Flat Stanley books are great for budding boy readers, as they use lots of humour and a silly plot twist to support their main character. Stanley is a kid every boy can identify with, even while they envy his flatness! The Flat Stanley series was originally written by Jeff Brown, but new authors are coming on board to round out the series. This one is a charmer!
