Stanley wins a fire safety poster contest and is invited to climb onto a real fire truck. ( )

Flat Stanley and his brother take a trip to the fire station to learn. As they are there they are asked to go on a rescue mission to get a cat out of a tree. Flat Stanley helps by being stretched out having the cat fall onto him. ( )

This book would be good for beginning readers. It had easy terms, but was not as dull as a lot of easy reads. Young children would really appreciate Stanley becoming a hero at the end. I would ask students to draw a poster for our own classroom poster contest like the one in this book. I would also have the students think of another way that Flat Stanley could be helpful. ( )
