Flat Stanley is a children's book written by Jeff Brown. Stanley and his younger brother Arthur are given a big bulletin board by their dad. He hangs it on the wall over Stanley's bed, but the board falls from the wall and flattens Stanley in his sleep. Making the best of his altered state, he finds that he can go places and do things he couldn't before, like entering locked rooms by sliding under the door, and playing with his younger brother by being used as a kite.
The Flat Stanley Project was started in 1995 by 3rd grade teacher, Dale Hubert.
