When I saw this Flat Stanley audiobook was available for request I jumped on it. He was always a favorite bed-time story= Plus a favorite classroom project!
Yikes! I had NO IDEA there were author Jeff Brown stories about Stanley – How did I not know THAT?
I love Flat Stanley! FYI: Stanley Lambchop was flattened by a bulletin board but lived to carry out adventures.

In this story Stanley Lambchop and his best friend, Marco, learn all about coding and friendship during Classroom 2E’s great robot race!
Stanley likes to follow the rules, but that is not always the case with Marco.
Ms. Root, classroom 2E’s teacher introduces her students to movable robots called Zoombots,
Stanley the rule follower tries to follow her coding directions exactly. However Marco wants to have the fastest robot in class. Is our flat friend, going to get in trouble? ~ Read on or in this case listen carefully!

I love the end of the story where a reference of web site for coding skills is provided.

I love with a story is fun and there is also a great lesson

About the author~ The Flat Stanley Project was started in 1995 by 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. In 2005, more than 6,500 classes from 48 countries took part in the Flat Stanley Project.

I want to thank NetGalley and Harper Audio Children’s/Harper Collins for this totally fun audiobook.
Audiobook Publishing Date scheduled for January 14, 2025.
