Grade Level: 2nd-4th This book is appropriate for 3rd-5th grade. This book is about a boy named Stanley who gets smashed by a bulletin board in his sleep. He then goes on adventures throughout the book. I enjoyed this book, I thought it was a great read for late elementary students who are getting into chapter books. I would have this in my classroom for free reading time. I would use this for intermediate level kids. This book is about a boy who becomes flat and has to overcome the new life struggles of that. It is also about a brother who is jealous and they have to overcome that. I would use this book as a starting real chapter book and use it for kids to show them that it is okay to be different. I was surprised at how appealing I found this silly story of a boy he is squished flat one day and makes the best of it. Maybe it's that all the adults -- doctors, parents, police, museum directors -- are all so consistently incompetent, so of course the kids have to step up when it comes to saving money, rescuing lost rings, stopping thieves, resolving sibling rivalry, and finding a cure. Fun. My only critique: I dislike stories where every member of the family gets a first name except the mother. Free Mrs. Lambchop from the patriarchy!
What's the story? Flat as a pancake, smashed by a bulletin board, Stanley uses his new shape to gain attention, but he soon learns the downside of being different. Jeff Brown's sophisticated humor keeps adults entertained, while kids identify with Stanley's feelings and enjoy his adventures. The illustration style, though dated, is expressive and funny. Brown's understanding of childhood emotions is as highly tuned as his humorous, understated writing style: "Mr. Dart stood back a few feet and stared at him for a moment. 'Oh well,' he said, 'it may not be art, but I know what I like.'" The lesson about the perils of going to extremes for attention is subtly conveyed, as Stanley is teased and rejected by his peers and Mom delivers a heavy-handed lecture about accepting other's differences, including racial and religious ones. Younger siblings will relate to Arthur's jealousy, too. After a bulletin board fell on him and decreased his thickness to one-half an inch, Stanley's life changed in peculiar ways. His younger, well-rounded brother was jealous of flat Stanley, who could fit under closed doors, slip down sidewalk grates, be carried bundle-form, or flown as a kite,-- and who was finally proclaimed a ""flat here"" for being instrumental in uncovering a pair of thieves. The listening group will enjoy Stanley's bizarre perspective on the world.
