Flat Stanley: His Original Adventure by Jeff Brown

While on the cruise last week I read the book Flat Stanley: His Original Adventure by Jeff Brown to the girls.  Before leaving we had them color and laminate their own Flat Stanley’s to take with them.  Both Flat Stanley’s had a blast on the cruise and were often seen looking out the window in our room at the ports, sneaking a snack from the shelf, and other random places throughout the week.

The book was a really quick read but the girls loved it.  One afternoon as we were relaxing for a little bit before dinner I read the entire book to them.  They thought it was silly and enjoyed taking their very own Flat Stanley on adventures with them.

In this book Flat Stanley wakes up one morning flattened by the bulletin board that fell on top of him during the night.  The book goes through the adventures that encounters while being flat from being a kite for his brother to being mailed to a friend and even helping in a museum robbery investigation.

Whether you read the book to the kids or they read it on their own it will be a fun one for them.

Brina and Karlie’s Flat Stanley’s waving at them from the window in our room.  The girls were tickled pink they could see them from the dock.  It definitely made our room easier to spot (I didn’t see any other Flat Stanley’s in any other windows, ha).
