K-3I Can Read Book series.
Illustrated by
Macky Pamintuan.
Written by Lori Haskins Houran. In this episode, Flat Stanley and his brother, Arthur, help Pete the baker win back customers when a neighboring town's bakery lures business away. As in the previous books, the plot hinges on Stanley's lack of depth; here, Stanley's contributions are mostly accidental rather than purposeful. Cartoonish illustrations accompany the accessible and mildly diverting text.
