DEANNA LYDAY’S Dear Elementary School first-graders read the book “Flat Stanley, His Original Adventure” by Jeff Brown. His supportive parents mail Stanley, flattened by a bulletin board, to visit family in another state. “After enjoying the book, we each made our own Flat Stanley and mailed him to family and friends around the United States,” Lyday states. “We have received many responses, both local and from as far away as Texas, Florida, California and South Carolina. It was fun to see pictures and read about the places Flat Stanley has visited.”
