Framed in France

Flat Stanley's Worldwide Adventures #11

by Josh Greenhut, Macky Pamintuan (Illustrator)

Flat Stanley is back to save the day in another exciting Worldwide Adventures chapter book, just in time to celebrate his fiftieth anniversary! This time, he explores Paris, France. And not only will kids love going on a fun adventure with Stanley, this eleventh installment of Jeff Brown's Worldwide Adventures series has fun, fascinating facts about Paris in the back of the book, and is perfect for common core state standards, like multicultural adventure, plot and character development story elements, and compare and contrast.

Stanley Lambchop is headed to France to the most famous museum in Paris—the Louvre. Readers will experience the city of light, soar to the top of the Eiffel Tower, and solve a mystery when one of the most famous paintings in history is stolen. And when Stanley Lambchop is asked to help catch an art thief, he can't help but be excited! Posing as a painting in the Louvre on a wall across from the famous Mona Lisa?—c'est magnifique! However, Stanley soon grows bored—until he meets Etoile, an art student who shows him around Paris. But when Stanley goes back to the museum, he realizes that the Mona Lisa looks . . . different. It's been switched for a fake! Will Stanley be able to nab the thief before he or she strikes again?

Another cute story in the Flat Stanley series.

Read with my first grader. Good for early readers ready for short chapter books.
Since the story is set in France there are some French words which are difficult for early readers. I recommend reading with your reader to make sure they understand the words.

My son enjoyed the book and recommends to other kids.

It was a cute story and I'm sure it would get kids interested in learning about France... Characters are not overly well developed besides Stanley... a lighthearted read that will leave kids wanting to read more, which is always nice
