Goodreads
Flat Stanley is back – this time in a new graphic novel format showcasing his original adventures. One morning, Stanley wakes up flat after a bulletin board falls on him in the night. After a quick visit to the doctor (who seems surprisingly unconcerned), and a shopping trip to get some new clothes, Stanley is ready to rock his new lifestyle. He gets shipped in an envelope across the country to visit a friend in California, gets flown like a kite by his brother, and even helps the police catch some museum robbers. After numerous adventures, Stanley is feeling tired of being different, so his brother re-inflates him using a tire pump. The colorful digital illustrations are fun and expressive. Flat Stanley is the epitome of physical comedy, and the graphic novel format is wonderfully suited to that. Recommended for ages 6 to 10 (Kindergarten to 4th Grade).
