HarperCollins The Flat Stanley Collection Box Set

It’s very nice

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.

I loved flat Stanley as a child which Is why I bought this for my 5 year old son at Christmas. It's taken us a month to read it (one chapter every night). Perhaps a little old for him, more suitable for a 6/7 year old (had to explain what s few things meant) but he really enjoyed it. Strangely though, flat Stanley is not flat in every story, only in 2 of them!!

We are all fans of Flat Stanley so enjoyed this omnibus hugely. It’s a bit American and a bit old fashioned but we don’t care! Great for ages 5-9 I would say.

My 6 year old boy loves Stanley and all of his adventures! Great collection of innocent silly adventures of a boy who turns flat and his brother. American references and old fashioned but we like that sort of thing.

Bought this set for my grandson he loves them .
