Flat Stanley series

Flat Stanley is an American children's book series written by author Jeff Brown. The idea for the book began as a bedtime story for Brown’s sons, which Brown turned into the first Flat Stanley book. The central theme of Flat Stanley is how to cope and adapt when life throws unexpected changes at you. For Stanley, this change is literal as he wakes up one morning to find that a bulletin board has flattened him.
