Jeff Brown

Summary Flat Stanley has been a children’s favourite since creator Jeff Brown published the original book in 1964. This twelve-volume box includes the original classic adventure, as well as four additional surprising tales from the mind of Jeff Brown. Not to mention seven trips around the world for Flat Stanley from authors Sara Pennypacker and Josh Greenhut! What a collection! This set is among our bestsellers and that pretty much sums up why. It’s fantastic fiction at its finest for children aged 7-9 who love humour and like to read all about travel adventures! Flat Stanley was just your average boy until a pinboard fell on top of him. This accident left him completely flat, so he could slip and slide under doors and even be posted to different countries. The world-famous Flat Stanley passes through Canada, Africa, China, and Australia on his exciting adventures. The work has become one of the most beloved series at home and in schools. It’s full of playfulness, hilarity, and comedic scenes. Flat Stanley has travelled to all the world’s wonders, from ancient ruins to magnificent architecture. Stanley has been entertaining children through the generations and has inspired the Flat Stanley Project. Schoolkids colour in a big picture of Flat Stanley, write a letter all about him and his hobbies, then mail him off to another country. The person who receives Stanley has to document his adventures and then return him home. The idea for the story came from Jeff Brown’s sons. One night they asked what would happen if the notice board above them were to fall on them. Brown said that you would wake up flat! This led him to wonder what life might look like in two dimensions, and thus Flat Stanley was born.
