It’s super good because it’s cool how he gets carried in the wind as he’s flat.

I think it was ok because Flat Stanley is flat and that is why the book is called Flat Stanley and he can do amazing things as he is so flat like go down narrow holes and hide beside a tree and no one can see him.

I liked Stanley playing rounders and hitting the ball. It showed that no matter what you do, some people won’t be happy.
