      Genre: Fantasy/InformationalReview: The author does a good job of staying true to the genre of both fantasy and informational by creating a believable story and giving us accurate information. Flat Stanley is a made up character but all of the other characters in the story are quite believable. Stanley is like most boy's with his feelings, yet the big difference is because he is flat, he can travel via mail and help others around the world. At the end of the book, there are several pages that give true facts about the US capital along with some facts interwove into the book.Media: Pencil

    Stars and Stripes

    Every Fourth of July, Stanley Lambchop dreamed of being in the local Independence Day parade—that is, until the year that his bulletin board fell on him in the middle of the night and flattened him.

    Can’t I be Abraham Lincoln? Stanley pleaded. Moments before the parade was about to begin, he found himself sitting in the center of the Grammar Society float, with his legs folded tightly to his chest.

    I cannot tell a lie, intoned his father, George Lambchop. He towered over Stanley majestically in a white wig and ponytail. I think you look patriotic.

    Oh, George, blushed Stanley’s mother, Harriet Lambchop, who was wearing an old-fashioned blue gown and a ribbon in her hair. You are such a good father … of our country. George Washington!

    Stanley’s father winked. No, Betsy Ross. It is you who deserves our gratitude for giving birth to such a fine flag. He gestured grandly down toward Stanley, and Mrs. Lambchop curtsied with a giggle.

    How many times do I have to tell you, interrupted Stanley, I don’t want to be the—

    His younger brother, Arthur, appeared from the other side of the float. Arthur had stretched a pale bathing cap over his head and had fringed it with strands from an old gray mop. "It’s not too
