Lumen

Flat Stanley

1964 ยท Jeff Brown ยท Early chapter book (humor)

Acceptable. Age: 6+. A Catholic review of this book for parents.

Our review

A bulletin board falls on Stanley in the night, and now he is flat. He gets rolled up, mailed and flown like a kite. He even helps catch two art thieves. It is a silly, harmless romp with a brave turn at the end. Nothing here needs correcting, though Common Sense notes some teasing. Age 6+, set by Lumen's read-alone age; Common Sense Media says 4+.

For parents

Age 6+, set by Lumen's read-alone age; Common Sense Media says 4+. Read it aloud from 4. Common Sense notes that children and adults tease Stanley and call him names. Ask how Stanley might feel, and how we treat someone who looks different.
