Flat Stanley's Worldwide Adventures: The Great Egyptian Grave Robbery by Jeff Brown

I really enjoyed this chapter book series for many reasons. Initially, the author re-introduces the charters in each novel thus you do not need to read the books in order. Flat Stanley is a boy who got flattened by a bulletin board therefore he can fit into an envelope and travel by mail around the world whenever he desires. This book also started with talking about French toast, bacon and a letter from someone needing help with an archaeological project in Egypt. Personally, French toast and bacon is my favorite meal and I find anything about Egypt interesting so this book had me hooked at the beginning. I also liked this book because it is relatable to children. Stanley has a younger brother Arthur, thus there are two viewpoints to this story. The Great Egyptian Grave Robbery was about how flat Stanley flew to Egypt hoping to help someone. When he got there he soon realized the man that asked for help tricked him and was actually a pyramid thief named Sir Hawara. This book includes a clever adventure with museum mischief, pyramids, snakes, bats and more! Flat Stanley represents children as adventurous, polite, and eager to learn about the world around them. Flat Stanley allows children to join him on his adventures around the world by simply reading this series. In addition, Brown provides facts about each place Stanley visits at the end of the book. I love this series because it is educational and exciting.
