reply to Flat Stanley

Flat Stanley made it back home! And here's the reply email I recieved:

============================================

Hi Uncle Tony,
I got Flat Stanley back. My teacher said it was one of the best Flat Stanley in the class,it also was an A.
I'm so glad that I got it back so early. I love the way you designed it, it looks wonderful to everyone in my class and me too.
When are you coming to the city? I really want to see the baby. How did you do all that work? Like I said I
really like how you made the Flat Stanley projects. I thought it was a scrapbook when I first saw it. I hope I get to see you some time
during this year and I want to see the rest of the family .EMAIL me back as soon as you can.Anyways bye.



Love, Melissa

Isn't that the cutest thing?!?! I'm glad my uh.. I mean Melissa's project got an "A"!!

Flat Stanley

In the book, Flat Stanley , by Jeff Brown in 1964, Stanley is squashed flat by a falling bulletin board. Being paper-thin, Stanley is able to visit the world and meet all kinds of amazing people by traveling around in an envelope.

Here Flat Stanley is in Vancouver!

Granville Island:

Recycling Centre: (where he made $6.10!)

meets a totem pole artist:

2010 Vancouver Olympic Oval in Richmond:

Kid's Market in Granville Island:


Stanley was sent by Melissa Chow, a third grader from Haley Elementary in Chicago. This is actually Stanley's second trip to Vancouver... last time he visited he took a detour to Hong Kong where he met an unfortunate end in a shopping mall's garbage bin. Sorry. I felt (still feel) like a jerk.
