The idea for Stanley came to him one night at bedtime when his sons J, C. and Tony were young and stalling for time, One asked what would happen if the big bulletin board on the wall were to fall on J, C. , and Mr. Brown said he would most likely wake up flat, That led to speculation about what such a life might be like, After writing "Flat Stanley, " Mr, Brown went on to "Stanley and the Magic Lamp," "Stanley in Space," "Stanley's Christmas Adventure," "Invisible Stanley" and finally "Stanley, Flat Again!"The Flat Stanley Project was started inby Dale Hubert, a third grade schoolteacher in London, Ontario, Canada.
It is meant to facilitate letter writing by schoolchildren to each other as they document where Flat Stanley has gone with them, The Project provides an opportunity for students to make connections with students of other member schools who've signed up with the project, Students begin by reading the book and becoming acquainted with the story, Then they make paper "Flat Stanleys" or pictures of the Stanley Lambchop character and keep a journal for a few days, documenting the places and activities in which Flat Stanley is involved.
The Flat Stanley and the journal are mailed to other people who are asked to treat the figure as a visiting guest and add to his journal, then return them both after a period of time.
