Flat Stanley’s Worldwide Adventures #1: The Mount Rushmore Calamity audiobook

A new series of books with Flat Stanley off having adventures in different places. I became interested in reading this series after reading about the geography activity of kids creating their own Flat Stanley, cardboard cut outs, and posting them far away. The receiver of the letter with the Flat Stanley takes the cardboard cut out and has an adventure with them. Taking photo's of them doing things and they post them back. A great way to learn about new places and write letters to people.This story is based in the USA near Mount Rushmore. It includes a few interesting true facts. Fun series.

flat stanley by: sara pennypacker. it is about a boy that is traveling to mount rushmore. and how he got the name flat stanley was because he got flatened by a boliten board so now it is hard for him to travel without flying away.

Owen says: Four stars. I liked learning more about what cowboys do. I kind of liked it when Abraham Lincoln's face fell off. I think it was funny. If you like Flat Stanley books, you should read it.Rob says: Three stars. Another extension in the Flat Stanley franchise. While the original books have an old-time Zany flavor to them, this modern update loses some of that feeling of magical realism and replaces it with a standard children's adventure book in which the hero happens to be flat. Still, it's charming enough in the ways Stanley's body is used as a variety of problem solving tools, including a horse's trough!

I have never read a Flat Stanley book before and this one was interesting. I had heard about the Flat Stanley project before, but I had never read one of the books. I liked the concept of having a person be flat and able to things other 3D people cannot do. However; I did not like that they rolled up Stanley and put him on the back of a horse. He had no way to stop himself from falling off with his arms rolled up. The trip to Mount Rushmore and the adventures that ensued were entertaining. I can see a younger reader really enjoying this book. I would like to do the Flat Stanley project in my classroom and I think using this book would be a good way to introduce it.

Saddle up with Flat Stanley!Ever since Stanley was flattened by a bulletin board, every trip is an adventure!The whole Lambchop family is off to see Mount Rushmore. But when Flat Stanley and his brother, Arthur, team up with a scrappy cowgirl named Calamity Jasper, their vacation turns into the Wild West experience of a lifetime. Pretty soon, they find themselves in a real tight spot—even for a flat boy like Stanley!My 2 year old and I loved this book during our read a loud time. To be honest we love anything with Flat Stanley. This book was full of adventure, comedy and suspense.I rate this book a 4 out of 5 stars.

I liked this book because I like adventure books. When I saw this book I immediately read this book. I literally grabbed this book went to my room and started to read it. I also read this book because I usually don't go on vacations so I read this book because it looked interesting.I gave this book 5 stars because I like reading Adventure books so this book looked interesting to me. This book is also a series and i liked reading those as well. If I had to choose a favorite book of the flat stanley series it would be this one. These are all reasons on why i liked this book.

I just loved this book even if it is for little kids. In this book Stanley and his brother go on a trip to Mount Rushmore. On page 15 it said " with a terrible sound, a large crack split open along Abraham Lincoln's hairline. The great carved face began to slide away down the mountainside... With Arthur on it!" that part almost gave me a heart attack. I thought that Arthur was going to die. After Stanley saved Arthur I was go happy but when I saw that Arthur was sad because people were crowding over Stanley and Arthur was lonely. If that was me I would feel sad to.

Stanley is back at it again where he is the only person who can save the day, but this time he and his brother are trapped inside of Mount Rushmore after it collapsed and caved in. He is the only one that can escape because of how tiny he is, but he can go back and get help for his brother.

Read to my 7 & 5 year olds. we all enjoyed it. Minimal pictures scattered throughout. Some history, some geography, some humor. Will plan read some more like this.

Flat Stanley has gone to Mount Rushmore, and has meet a cowgirl. In the story she said" Good to meet you pardners"When she met them.

Great series of a book that students can see many explorations and experiences Flat Stanley goes through

Cute story about a boy who is flat. The family goes on a vacation. Stanley is tired of everyone recognizing him and needs a break. His brother Arthur is tired of his brother getting all the attention. This vacation will help them see that they need each other and they can still be ok being different. I read this to my daughter at bedtime. We were able to read the entire thing in one night. She and I both enjoyed it and would recommend it.

This is a fun book for all kids. It tells of the family's visit to Mount Rushmore, SD, and all the adventures they had there. I noticed lots of moralizing by the author--not a problem!

"I like that Flat Stanley and a cowgirl found their way put of a cave in. I might read more Flat Stanley books." -Cadee, age 8

My 8yr old daughter says..."Exciting adventures - almost falling off the heads at Mount Rushmore! Stanley had an adventurous time from becoming a kite to mining for gold. Had a great time reading."

Another great adventure
