Flat Stanley

Trent had an assignment regarding a book that his class was reading titled FLAT STANLEY.


Flat Stanley is the title character of a 1964 children's book (ISBN 0-06-009791-4) by Jeff Brown.

Stanley Lambchop is flattened when a bulletin board falls on him. He survives and makes the best of his altered state, and soon he is sliding into rooms through the opening at the bottom of closed doors and being kind to his younger brother by playing as a kite for him. Stanley even helps catch some art museum sneak thieves by posing as a painting on the wall! But one special advantage is that Flat Stanley can now visit his friends by being mailed in an envelope.

His assignment was to mail Flat Stanley to a friend or family member that was traveling or lived out of state. Of course I LOVE this type of project. We put our thinking hats on and mailed Flat Stanley out.



First stop was......... New York City....... Brittany (Brett's Cousin) is a ballet dancer in NYC . She was gracious enough to take Stanley out for a night on the town.
