Flat Stanley tours the world
GREG HAYES/Sun-Gazette
Second-graders at Round Hills Elementary School recently sent out Flat Stanleys to their friends and family members around the world. Above are class members of Eylene Love and Rhonda Getgen’s second grade classes; inset is Kaydie Miller, whose Flat Stanley visited the White House, and below, Bella Barone’s Flat Stanley — who upon returning from Rhode Island — poses outside the school.
Whether he’s wrinkled, creased, folded or flattened, this little boy travels the world — all by envelope. His name is Flat Stanley Lambchop, and as ageless as his stories, he’s been sent all over the world by millions of children since 1995. That’s the year when one teacher began an international trend for students to draw their own “Flat Stanley” and send him out into the world as part of a pen pal letter-writing activity to plot his travels, according to the project’s Web site. According to the books written by the late Jeff Brown, Stanley Lambchop was flattened overnight when a bulletin board his father hung above his bed fell and flattened the boy. Driven by curiosity, the flattened character was able to breach art museums by sliding beneath doorways and take trips by envelop.
