The Flat Stanley《扁平的斯坦利》已经诞生五十多年了，这是一系列充满想象的旅行冒险故事。Stanley被一块掉下来的布告板砸到扁后，他变成了一个神奇的男孩：只有半英寸厚，能在地板上滑行，邮寄自己到另一个地方，象风筝一样飞行。这只是关于他的一部分故事，后来他变成了隐形的Stanley，甚至到外太空去拯救外星人。
这系列书几乎每个美国孩子都会读，正因为如此流行，还产生了一个在美国、加拿大家喻户晓的Stanley Project。没想到这个教学活动竟然一下子就红了。接下来的20年里，世界各地的人们，无论大人还是孩子，走到哪都想着和Flat Stanley合影然后寄回去。在美国，还真有点全民运动的意思，小布什和奥巴马两届总统都跟Stanley同框过！
本套The Flat Stanley Collection Box Set为盒装，包含四本英文原版书，故事都是小学生喜欢的题材。语言不难，属于初级章节书，文字为主，配少量插图，适合美国一年级同等英文阅读水平及以上。

Stanley Lambchop is an ordinary boy. At least he was, until the night his bulletin board fell off the wall and flattened him. At only half an inch thick, Stanley can slide under doors, mail himself across the country in an envelope, and fly like a kite! 
And that’s only the start of Stanley’s adventures. In these four tales, Stanley also becomes invisible and helps nab some bank robbers, journeys to outer space to rescue aliens, and, after being rounded out, turns flat—again! One thing is for sure: There’s nothing Stanley Lambchop can’t do!
