Dear Reader,
I may be getting a little deep this morning, but I'm amazed at how a cutout of a boy colored by a second grade girl can leave such an impression on people, including me. If you're just tuning in and you've missed the Flat Stanley craze, read all about it at: http://tinyurl.com/6moruk
From my Email Bag:
"Dear Suzanne, one thing that I have known for a certainty about you is your ability to make me laugh. And I know I am not the only reader who falls over laughing at some of your antics. You think you are a bit eccentric? No my dear friend, you are down right nutty and I love you so much for it. Maybe because you remind me of myself just a tiny bit. My children can assent to that; they are looking for a good asylum to book me into. Thank you so much for putting a smile on my dial and spring in my step. My days are never dull whenever I start them by reading with you. You both take care,--Lungile
P.S. Please tell Flat Stanley that a friend said hello and please give him a hug from me. He already is my friend, you know what they say, 'a friend of a friend is my friend too.'"
"Hi Suzanne, how are things going with Flat Stanley? I put the book on hold at our local library after reading that he was coming to you. I have to pick it up tonight. My 8 year old son Dezmond is so excited to read it! I told him about Flat Stanley and how he travels all over the world and that he was going to visit the lady that tells mommy about all the great books to read. Dezmond wants to know how he can get Flat Stanley to come visit with us in New Jersey. He is a third grade student at Joseph D. Sharp Elementary in Cherry Hill New Jersey. I'm sure you have a million emails asking this? If there is a way to request him could you please share will all your readers! Thanks so much! It's great to read with you"--Cristine
"Dear Suzanne, I love the columns you write! I don't always read the books, but I do read your columns. Today's story and pictures of Flat Stanley just made me laugh. I am writing this with a smile on my face. I truly admire the quirkiness in you that makes you unafraid to take Flat Stanley to your chiropractor and even take pictures of him getting an adjustment. Flat Stanley is so lucky to be staying at your home and your readers are all so lucky to be able to spend time with you each day. Thank you for sharing your life with us."--Betty
Thanks for reading with me. It's so good to read with friends.
"We'll" keep you posted on our adventures.
Warmest regards,
Suzanne Beecher and Flat Stanley
