Stanley is elated. His Stop, Drop, and Roll poster won the Fire Safety Month contest.
Stanley's prize is a trip to the firehouse! When Chief Abbot invites him to climb onto a real fire truck, Stanley thinks things can't get any better, but the visit takes an even more exciting turn.
Beginning readers will love following along with Stanley's exciting rescue mission. Sometimes flatter is better!

Written by Lori Haskins Houran. Flat Stanley and his family head to the fire station after Stanley and his brother win a fire safety poster contest. The digital illustrations are engagingly bright and cheerful, but the text is distractingly choppy; sentences don't always follow one another in a logical way. (And why must Mrs. Lambchop offer to "tidy up" for the firefighters?)
