Welcome to My Flat Stanley Blog

Hi. My name is Chloe. This is my blog about Flat Stanley. Flat Stanley is a book written by Jeff Brown and illustrated by Scott Nash about a boy who got flat by a bulletin board. His mom said, "We'll eat breakfast and go to the doctor." After they visited the doctor, they got a letter from Stanley's friend to see California. His dad got a big envelope for Stanley to fit in. His mom made him bring milk, a toothbrush, and an egg sandwich. After he was in the envelope, Stanley asked if he could eat his sandwich and his mom said, "No, not until you are very hungry." When Stanley was in California he visited a museum with his friend. Then he came home and showed his mom and dad the pictures that they took. Stanley had a little brother named Arthur. His dad took Arthur and Stanley to the park. Stanley was rolled up like a purse and then his dad saw an old college friend. He said, "Is that wallpaper?" His dad said, "No, it is my son Stanley." At the park everybody was flying kites except for Arthur and Stanley. Then Stanley had an idea so he made a long string and since he was flat he was the kite and Arthur had fun with him. Soon some boys asked Arthur if he wanted to get a hot dog and Arthur said sure. At the end of the book they all drank hot cocoa to celebrate that Stanley was flat.

At school I made my own Flat Stanley so he could go to different places and take pictures. When he finishes traveling he will go back in the envelope and come home. This blog is to show pictures of where my Flat Stanley travels in the world. My blog is called Flat Stanley's Walkabout because in Australia a long time ago when kids were 13 they would go walk and travel for six month. Thank you for reading all about Flat Stanley. I hope you enjoy my blog.
