Being flat comes in handy when you’re looking for hiding places—but is there any place to hide from a big swarm of bumblebees?
On a hot summer day, Flat Stanley and his friends have lots of fun backyard games to play. Stanley’s flatness comes in handy, especially on the slippy slide and during games of hide-and-seek. But when the fun disrupts a beehive, can Stanley save his buddies before the bees get them? Beginning readers will love how Flat Stanley gets out of a sticky situation to save the day . . . with the help of his mom’s honey buns!
Flat Stanley and the Bees is a Level Two I Can Read book, geared for kids who read on their own but still need a little help. Whether shared at home or in a classroom, the engaging stories, longer sentences, and language play of Level Two books are proven to help kids take their next steps toward reading success.
