And the Winner Is...

This week we completed our Gingerbread Man book study. Over the past 3 weeks children have read, discussed, retold, and acted out numerous versions of the well-known tale.

This year's versions included:
The Gingerbread Boy by Paul Galdone
The Gingerbread Man by Jim Aylesworth
The Gingerbread Man by Eric Kimmel
The Gingerbread Boy by Richard Egielski (a New York City version)
Gingerbread Baby by Jan Brett
The Cajun Gingerbread Boy by Berth Amoss
The Gingerbread Girl by Lisa Campbell Ernst
The Gingerbread Cowboy by Janet Squires
The Stinky Cheese Man by Jon Scieszka and Lane Smith

In a landslide vote, both classes decided to award the 2007 Gingerbread Man story Grand Prize to...The Gingerbread Girl by Lisa Campbell Ernst. Congratulations ~ YOU GO, Gingerbread Girl!
