Flat Stanley recently came to visit me in Japan! He arrived in an envelope. Dressed in his Nebraska Husker apparel, he and I went on many adventures together!
Flat Stanley is a character from a childrens' book, written by Jeff Brown. In the book, a bulletin board falls on Stanley, and he becomes 1/4 inch thick. He wants to go on a trip, so his parents fold him up, put him in an envelope, and send him far away. To learn more about Flat Stanley and his growing popularity, visit this website. Now, elementary schools around America are taking this idea and doing extended learning projects. Students create a "Flat Stanley" in the form of themselves, and then take him on an adventure, or send him somewhere far away. From Omaha, Nebraska, to Japan is about 6,000 miles! I think my Flat Stanley traveled the furthest!
