57. "Flat Stanley" by Jeff Brown

Flat Stanley (picture book edition)Flat Stanley is a fun story about a boy who's squished flat when a bulletin board falls on him while he's asleep. With a half-inch thickness, Stanley can fit into a mailing envelope to travel to California. He lets his brother attach a string to him and flies like a kite. He hatches an ingenious plot that takes advantage of his flatness to help catch art thieves.

This was a favorite book of mine when I first learned to read, and its appeal hasn't diminished with time.
