Flat Stanley is a children's book about a boy who was accidentally squashed as flat as a piece of paper. The advantage of being flat was that he could put himself in an envelope and mail himself anywhere in the world. This has led to the rise of a popular school project, where kids mail their Flat Stanley out to learn more about different places in the world.
So my wonderful cousin (second cousin? cousin-once-removed?) Molly
decided to send her Flat Stanley to us!
And Stan the Man arrived just before we left on holiday to Tasmania, so we had a great time travelling around with him! He was good about keeping a journal to tell Molly about all the things he learned. And we did our best to take lots of pics to share with Molly.
Apparently Stan the Man traveled further than any other Flat Stanley in the class. The downside is that he was the last one to get home. But the upside is that it further boosted Molly's popularity - which was already sky-high, but a little more coolness never hurt, right?
