The Gingerbread Man: Loose in the School
By Laura Murray
Penguin Group, 2011
Grades: 2, 3
Synopsis: When a newly baked gingerbread man is left in the classroom when the students go to recess, he embarks on an adventure through the school to find them. He visits the gym, the nurse's office, the art room and the principal's office. When he finally makes it back to the classroom, he realizes the students have been looking for him, too!
Jump: Throughout the story, as the Gingerbread Man searches there is a map of the school as a part of the illustration. After reading, students can create their own school map using the illustrations as a guideline. This can also be extended to have students write their own Gingerbread Man story, set in their school, and focusing on their favorite rooms in the building.
