Flat Stanley

Ever heard of him? If not, let me tell you a little bit about him.
Flat Stanley is a 1964 children's book by Jeff Brown
Stanley Lambchop and his younger brother Arthur are given a big bulletin board by their Dad for putting pictures and posters on. He hangs it on the wall over Stanley's bed, but during the night the board falls from the wall, flattening Stanley in his sleep. He survives and makes the best of his altered state, and soon he is entering locked rooms by sliding under the door, and playing with his younger brother by being used as a kite. But one special advantage is that Flat Stanley can now visit his friends by being mailed in an envelope.

Flat Stanley was sent from California, by my niece. He decided to visit the local hero's of Utah:



Turns out he also decided to grab a bite to eat before really enjoying his freedom away from home.


Oh Stanley, you dirty little rascal you!

Every time I drive by that Doctor John's Lingerie, I wonder why on earth they need to be open 24 hours a day. Do so many people have middle-of-the-night lingerie emergencies that a 24-hour store is needed?

What have you done to our innocent Stanley? You've let Utah corrupt the poor little guy. Although you left a few good sites out like Magna and Coachmans. Wish I could be flat Rebecca and mail myself to you. On behalf of flat Stanley "thanks for showing me a good time". Would this be an appropriate site to send to Abby's teacher?
