Review
Flat Stanley and his brother Arthur are off for two weeks at Uncle Bob and Aunt Sue's farm. Plus they will get to go to the county fair. Aunt Sue bakes wonderful pies and is always trying to fatten Stanley up, even though he says he is not skinny, he's just flat! Cousin Billy, Stanley, and Arthur help around the farm. Uncle Bob is trying to catch whoever is stealing his pumpkins, so Stanley decides to act as a scarecrow to unveil the culprits. When he uncovers the thieves, everyone is very surprised. Cartoonish illustrations make this very appealing for level 2 readers who are developing their skills. Who doesn't love Flat Stanley? Add this to your collection.
