Have you met Breven's new friend?

This is Flat Stanley he is our new friend here. Breven has moved beyond the picture books he has been bringing home and grows bored with the lack of excitement and interest in the stories. Also he is ready to move on to chapter books he is always wondering what happened next or how a story could continue on past what the book showed.

In comes Stanley its a chapter book series for 2nd-3rd graders it has some pictures but mostly words which makes Breven happy. The stories are much more interesting with a good amount of appropriate humor. The chapters are just long enough to cover the time needed after reading one of the books in his bag without being overwhelming.

This boy gets flattened when a bulletin board falls on him and his adventures continue to space, a genie and in the series we are almost on around the world! This has sparked an interest in countries and travel which has led me to some ideas for summer vacation.

Its nice to finally find books that can keep his attention and a character that isn't questionable! I have a feeling Stanley will be around for a while!
