Have you heard of Flat Stanley?
He’s the role model for all those
determined to turn lemons into lemonade!

Stanley was peacefully dreaming in bed one night when
the bulletin board above him fell – and flattened him.
Just as in the very best mystery novels, this tragic act is not revealed in any great detail. It happened… don’t dwell… let’s move on to solve the mystery/problem.
(I love fiction.)
Stanley (now flat as a pancake) goes on to have all sorts of adventures. Drop you keys through a street grate? No worries; Stanley can just slide thorough and grab them for you. Inter-continental airfare to high? Never fear; Stanley can just be sent through the mail in an envelope. There are no frequent flier miles, but there are also no security lines.
(Lemonade, I tell you; Lemonade!!)

Teachers have been using this book in the classroom for years. For more that a decade the Official Flat Stanley Project has been on the web and continues today to document just how much Stanley is loved. He travels the globe and rubs elbows with some of the most famous people in the world. Look closely, that’s Stanley with President Obama.

There are six Flat Stanley Books in the series. Author Jeff Brown died in 2003, but Flat Stanley lives on. The boy even has a theme song!
(That’s hitting the big time!)
Go Stanley!
