Flat Stanley from California

Bellman really enjoyed meeting Flat Stanley today. He arrived at a friend's home, and he came all the way from California! Flat Stanley is a project that teachers often use to engage their children in learning about the world. Flat Stanley can be mailed all over and then returned to the class with an account of his adventures. Bellman and Flat Stanley became instant friends because they have so much in common...

they are both cute and a lot of fun;

they both love to travel and want to teach children about geography and social studies;

and they both encourage children to read and to write!
