The Flat Stanley Collection Box Set: Flat Stanley, Invisible Stanley, Stanley in Space, and Stanley, Flat Again!

I first learned about Flat Stanley over 20 years ago when I received a phone call from my friend asking me if I could help her son with a school project. Each student in his class had to mail Flat Stanley to relatives or friends all over the country and have him spend time with them and then be sent back with a report of their time there and if possible a gift for each student in the class that was specific to where he lived. It was a cute project that I loved helping him with. I meet with Flat Stanley again a few years ago when my niece had to read a chapter book for school and this was the one she choose. She was in first grade and struggled with reading and it was a chore to get her through the first book but she got it done and enjoyed the book. I again have young people in my life who need a project and reading material for school and Flat Stanley came to mind almost immediately. I had originally thought to only buy the first book in the series but after looking over all the options for purchase, this four book collection was a great deal. It comes in a nice case and each book is full of illustrations to help keep younger readers engaged. This is not a book series for beginner readers but for those who are strong readers in the last couple months of 1st grade or readers in 2nd/3rd grades these book are great not just to read but if you look on-line you can also have your kids get involved and do a project - making them a great option for home schooled kids as well as every elementary school system.

Such a fun set of books. Came on time with No rips or tears. It’s perfect for a young reader. They will want to build their own flat Stanley.

Came ontime and in perfect shape. Our little girl is going to be so excited

Stanley’s adventures never disappoint. Our 2nd grader really enjoys these books, and they are at just the level that is not too easy for him but a little challenging. They are a perfect starter chapter book for young readers. But my only complaint is the use of the word stupid in the books. They were written awhile ago but I feel this word should be removed from these other heartwarming books for young readers.

My 8yo grandson really enjoys this series. I regularly ask him what Flat Stanley is up to. He delights in recounting his adventures. It encourages him to be a good reader and gives us something to talk about.

My little grandbabies lover this collection. It's funny and worth reading.

my young grandson loved it and read it all in one setting because he couldn't put it down.

I have given out many copies of Flat Stanley and this collection is a great set to start off a child’s collection. Also maybe open up for 4 gifts.

I have read this to two classes of 6-8 year olds and they love the stories. Each chapter is an individual story which forms part of the bigger one. Takes around 10-15 mins to read each chapter aloud, and the book contains black and white illustrations throughout. This is such a fun story. It has become my go-to book (followed by the Hodgeheg) for younger children. I even used it as a class guided read.

My daughter asked for Stanley, Flat Again as Christmas gift in this year's letter sent to Santa. Her wish came true, of course:-) Even better, she got the full series! Her elaborately designed trap in her bedroom didn't work to catch Santa live though:-P She started to read the series immediately after she got up in the morning. She was so exited to learn the whole story she dreamed for a while and couldn't help to tell it to her little brothers. Thank you Santa again for this great gift.

Great series for learning readers.

Lovely collection of books. My son loved it

Even if the illustrations in these books are black and white, you can't miss the chance of travel around with stanley. Great for teaching projects about world's countries and more.
