* RuleOfDrama: In ''Stanley, Flat Again!'', Arthur immediately thinks of his solution to inflating Stanley from the first book when Stanley is flattened again and does that. It doesn't work - after all, doing so wouldn't give you much of a book if it's easy; it hurts Stanley more than in the first book and, as they learn later, it requires a different solution to inflate him.

''Flat Stanley'' is a children's chapter book written by Jeff Brown. It was originally published in 1964.
Stanley Lambchop is your ordinary kid. That is, until one night, a bulletin board in his bedroom falls on him while he's sleeping. His younger brother Arthur calls his parents up to Stanley's bedroom to see if Stanley's hurt from the bulletin board, which thankfully he isn't... but the incident did leave him SquashedFlat! Until he can find a way to inflate himself back to normal, Stanley must get used to living life as a flat person.
The book has five sequels: ''Stanley and the Magic Lamp'' (1985), where Stanley accidentally releases a genie named Prince Haraz from an old lamp; ''Stanley in Space'' (1990), where the President of the United States chooses the Lambchop family to ride in a spaceship called the Star Scout; ''Stanley's Christmas Adventure'' (1993), where Sarah Claus, Santa's daughter, calls on the Lambchop family to save Christmas when the jolly red man decides not to give out presents this year; ''Invisible Stanley'' (1995), where Stanley inexplicably turns invisible after eating some raisins and an apple during a storm the preceding night; and ''Stanley, Flat Again!''
