Flat Stanley: Show-and-Tell Flat Stanley! by Lori Haskins Houran



Houran, Lori Haskins  Flat Stanley: Show-and-Tell Flat Stanley!  Illustrated by Macky Pamintuan  EARLY READER  $16.99  Content: G.   

Flat Stanley’s brother Arthur wants to take Stanley to school as his show-and-tell.  Arthur says it’s so he can show everyone how Stanley can wiggle his ears, but Stanley is pretty sure it is so Arthur can show everyone that he is flat.  When they get to show-and-tell things get quickly out of hand, making it so Arthur’s teacher’s engagement ring is around the neck of a mouse who got scared and went up into the ceiling tiles.  Stanley uses his flatness to go and get the mouse and everything is okay in the end.   

This early reader has 4-5 sentences per page and the illustrations are bright.  The quirky story moves along quickly enough that it entertains young readers.  

 EL(K-3) -OPTIONAL.  Reviewer, C. Peterson.
