Flat Stanley is a children's chapter book written by Jeff Brown. It was originally published in 1964.Stanley Lambchop is your ordinary kid. That is, until one night, a bulletin board in his bedroom falls on him while he's sleeping. His younger brother Arthur calls his parents up to Stanley's bedroom to see if Stanley's hurt from the bulletin board, which thankfully he isn't... but the incident did leave him Squashed Flat! Until he can find a way to inflate himself back to normal, Stanley must get used to living life as a flat person.The book has several sequels: Stanley and the Magic Lamp (1985), where Stanley accidentally releases a genie named Prince Haraz from an old lamp. Stanley in Space (1990), where the President of the United States chooses the Lambchop family to ride in a spaceship called the Star Scout. Stanley's Christmas Adventure (1993), where Sarah Claus, Santa's daughter, calls on the Lambchop family to save Christmas when the jolly red man decides not to give out presents this year. Invisible Stanley (1995), where Stanley inexplicably turns invisible after eating some raisins and an apple during a storm the preceding night. Stanley, Flat Again! (2003), where Stanley is flattened again.After Jeff Brown's death, a series of Flat Stanley books by different authors, called Flat Stanley's Worldwide Adventures, began publication, with Stanley in different parts of the world as suggested by the name of the series: The Mount Rushmore Calamity (2009) The Great Egyptian Grave Robbery (2009) The Japanese Ninja Surprise (2009) The Intrepid Canadian Expedition (2009) The Amazing Mexican Secret (2010) The African Safari Discovery (2011) The Flying Chinese Wonders (2011) The Australian Boomerang Bonanza (2011) The US Capital Commotion (2011) Showdown at the Alamo (2014) Framed in France (2014) Escape to California (2014) The Midnight Ride of Flat Revere (2016) On a Mission for Her Majesty (2017) Lost in New York (2018)The book inspired the Flat Stanley Project, an educational project where kids send paper cut-outs of him to different locations and have records of his adventures sent back to them. | |

Reveling in the New Form | |
| Flat Stanley / int_2c7a0875 | comment |
Reveling in the New Form: In the first book, Stanley is Squashed Flat by a bulletin board. While he has fun with this at first because it comes with all kinds of advantages such as being mailed places and being able to slide under doors, he comes to miss being round, especially when some people start to laugh at him. | |

| Flat Stanley / int_3e823033 | comment |
Invisible Streaker: Averted/lampshaded in Invisible Stanley. Stanley's clothes explicitly disappear when he puts them on and reappear as soon as he takes them off. To mark his presence in a room, his family gives him a balloon to hold. Part of the string disappears when he touches it, but not the balloon itself. | |

Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: In Stanley's Christmas Adventure, in explaining why he refuses to deliver presents on Christmas like he usually does, Santa has the television turned on. All the programs that are on TV are pretty reasonable to prove his point, demonstrating violence in the world... except the last one. | |

Rule of Drama | |
| Flat Stanley / int_a5f0752f | comment |
Rule of Drama: In Stanley, Flat Again!, Arthur immediately thinks of his solution to inflating Stanley from the first book when Stanley is flattened again and does that. It doesn't work - after all, doing so wouldn't give you much of a book if it's easy; it hurts Stanley more than in the first book and, as they learn later, it requires a different solution to inflate him. | |

You Are Number 6 | |
| Flat Stanley / int_ea6f361f | comment |
You Are Number 6: In Stanley's Christmas Adventure, Sarah Claus refers to Santa's reindeer by numbers instead of proper names. The Lambchops mention that they know proper names for the reindeer she could use instead - Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Connor, Cupid, Donder, and Blitzen - that Sarah mentions to Santa himself later in the book. | |
