Stanley Lambchop has had his share of unusual adventures. But being flat was one thing he thought he was through with forever. Then one morning, he discovers he was wrong. Still, there is so much that a boy who is only one inch thick can do that a round person can’t. Maybe this time, all it will take is one amazing event for everything to finally make sense.
Stanley, Flat Again! (Flat Stanley, #6) Reviews

Perhaps this is not the best Flat Stanley book, however it was the one I read to see, as a teacher, what this story was all about. Obviously I'm not the projected audience, but I started this book with three feelings/opinions:
1. Cool concept that could potentially go places.
2. I like that there was discussion about what it meant to be "different"
3. meh...it COULD be cool but it's not.
In the end I ended up hating the book because the feeling of "I just don't care" continued and then at the very end you get bitchy mcbitcherson who snuck into an area she wasn't supposed to be in, then a building collapsed on her and when she's saved she complains about literally EVERYTHING.
Also I think she's a black girl in the picture, which...stereotype much? and ultimately at the end of the day she could have saved herself, but I guess she was too stupid for that and Flat Stanley is just SO AMAZING and has literally no personality flaws while the girl has every personality flaw on the planet.
This narrative is just so perplexing to me. I mean obviously I know this book is not for me, and I'm reading too much into it, but if you are going to have ONE female character in the whole book (barring the mom) in an adventure book about basically a perfect boy, you could at least make her more balanced. -
4 stars & 4/10 hearts. Still not as good as book 1, but I frankly enjoyed this more than
Invisible Stanley, because it didn’t feel like such a retelling of
Flat Stanley, but stood on its own as a sequel. All the Lambchops were the same as ever—I just love Arthur & Stanley’s sweet relationship, and the way they’re so close to their parents… it’s so nice seeing their strong family bond. The boat race twisted a trope in a fun way, and I enjoyed the rescue, although Emma is nasty. Overall, it was a great ending to the series. ;) -
Honestly, thanks Anna for the quick read, and easy addition to the tally.

I didn't think this was as good as the original Flat Stanley story and my son wasn't into his adventures as the original; nonetheless, there were some funny parts and of course a part where Stanley saves the day!

Recommended by our text. I enjoy flat Stanley.

I feel like this book was written merely to capitalize on the success of prior books. In reading this one, I just never felt like it was a story that needed to be told. However, if you LOVE Flat Stanley, well, here you go! Another one! 😀
For the babies in my school, they don’t have the background knowledge to fully understand several parts in this book. “He attached his spinnaker to a halyard and ran it up the mast” (28).
“Sometime things happen that nobody can see a reason for, and then afterwards some other thing happens, and all of a sudden it seems like the first thing had a reason after all” (60). -
I like it because there is some action in the book and has a great storyline. But 4 stars because there’s a little amount of action. Maybe a little more action or comedy and I would give it 5 stars. I would recommend this to 1st to 2nd graders or 5 to 8 year olds. Again great book and nice job author and illustrator keep up the good work!

Book six of the series, the last book in the original run, apparently some other geezer wrote some more books and for the second time Stanley goes flat, which in reality is 1/3 of the books in a series called Flat Stanley are actually about a geezer who goes flat.
Well anyway Stanley saves the day of course and what not, but you knew he would.'
God old Stanley! -
Stanley is flat again! In this book, he has a sailing adventure and works to save a friend who is also in danger of being flattened. His guidance counselor does talk to him about "there is a reason for you being flat!"
This is a cute end to the original Flat Stanley series. -
I think the premise had been worn out. Something happens to Stanley, Stanley gets attention, Arthur is jealous, problem is inexplicably resolved, the end.
-
Perhaps if I read these Flat Stanley books in order, I would enjoy them more.

وسط کتاب به مامان گفتم میشه منم صاف بشم ، یعنی یه چیزی بخوره به نقطه تعادلی بدنم
خیلی دوست دارم منم مثل استنلی صاف بشم
این قسمت کتاب روخیلی دوست داشتم -
Good for younger readers, if you’re looking for something light and easy...and with awful dialogue. (Although not as bad as Magic Tree House series...)
-
Review by C.N. : "Like. Stanley turns flat again and saves a girl. [Recommended for someone] who likes mystery."
-
Stanley Lambchop is back. Stanley ends up becoming flat again. He has more adventures and helps save the day. A cute and fun book for young readers.
