After a short lesson on what they need to include in their Flat Stanley, students decorate both the front and back. I just draw a figure outline on file folder and cut them out before passing them along to students. Then, they get their own Flat Stanley to create. Each year I read the original book with my students.

Not only is the Flat Stanley series a great reading series, it also lends itself perfectly to a geography unit. After his death in 2003, additional writers have continued his adventures. The original book became so popular, Jeff went on to write five additional adventures about Flat Stanley. He ends up traveling the word via travel through an envelope, and he encounters many fun-filled and exciting adventures along the way.

It’s the story of a boy who becomes flat when a bulletin board falls on him. I’m not the only one who thinks so either, teachers and students alike LOVE him!įlat Stanley is a book written by Jeff Brown. Have you ever heard of Flat Stanley? I hadn’t up until about two years ago when another teacher friend introduced me to him, and I’m so thankful! Flat Stanley is one of the best characters and set of books I’ve come across in a long time.
