A girl I work with got Flat Stanley in the mail from her niece, and she had
a lot of fun dressing him up and taking pictures of him in different places.
A lot of other people I work with had never heard of Flat Stanley and I was
really surprised! But I was more surprised to see that Bookshare has NONE of
the Flat Stanley books at all in the collection.
So I have just submitted Flat Stanley, and it is ready for proofreading.
Stanley Lambchop is just a normal, healthy boy. True, there was that
business about the bulletin board falling on him. But boys *will *have
accidents,
and Stanley is just like any other boy.
Even if he *is *only half an inch thick.
A handicap? Don't be silly!
Convenient? Most certainly. Why, Stanley's father never worries about losing
him in crowds; he just rolls Stanley up and carries him under his arm. And
economical! How about the time his parents *mailed *him to California to
spend his holiday there?
Does he have *fun? *Well, which is more fun -- flying a kite or *being *one?
What's that you say? Can a flat boy make a significant contribution to
society? Now look--that's the climax. You'd better read the book.
It's uplifting.
And side-splitting. So are the pictures.
