Flat Stanley is in Tauranga and SunLive is hoping its readers can suggest what the best places are in town for him to visit so that he can educate a second grade class in California.
Stanley had the unfortunate experience of being flattened by a falling billboard when he was young and he is now less than 2cm thick – hence the ‘Flat' nickname.
Flat Stanley has arrived in Tauranga and is hoping residents can suggest where he should go in town to help a first grade class in California learn about the Bay of Plenty.
Being flat presents some advantages though, such as being able to fly around the world cheaply – as mail.
His latest trip is from Grass Valley in California, near Sacramento, to Mount Maunganui, with him arriving today.
He was sent in the mail by seven-year-old Nini McCluskey to her aunty, Mount Maunganui resident Jo Dempsey.
Nini attends Cottage Hill Elementary School.
Nini McCluskey wants to learn about Tauranga and share the information with her first grade classmates in California. Where should Flat Stanley go to help her learn? - Have your say below.
Flat Stanley is a teaching aide and while in Tauranga his aunty needs to photograph him in various places around the city and then write a blurb about what Stanley has learnt while in the city.
If Flat Stanley was sent to you in Tauranga, where would you take him?

What a great idea. We'd take him to Kiate falls, mountain biking at summerhill, walking at Te Puna Quarry, kayaking at McClaren's Falls up to the glow worms, to the TECT park, to Kiwi 360 for a kiwifruit icecream, to the rockpools at Maketu to go crab hunting.
SO NOW WE KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO STANLEY

The Prime Minister goes to Waikickamooocow Primary School to get a little PR. After the talk it is questiontime.One little boy Stanley puts up his hand and asks 4 questions First don't you have Jewish heritage Second how come you have such an effeminate voice Third how did you become PM when your party only got 35% of those enrolled to vote and doesn't even have a majority of MPs and Fourth how come you forced through the Foreshore and Seabed Act when New Zealanders didn't want it. Suddenly the morning break bell rings and PM says they will continue after the break.When they resume PM says OK where were we OH thats right it was question time. Who has a question.Another little Steve puts up his hand and says I have 6 questions the 4 Stanley asked plus why did the bell ring go off 20mins early and where the hell is Stanley. Let this be a warning to enquiring minds !!!!
Why not

Invite him to spend a week with TCC? He would go home full of praise for the best ever tragi-com he's ever seen, and even more flat at the thought of all those poor ratepayers.
