Today is NATIONAL GINGERBREAD COOKIE DAY

 

CELEBRATE with your favorite Gingerbread Cookie. Here’s mine—


THE GINGERBREAD COWBOY -- can run from the rancher's wife, he can dash past the javalinas and he can giddyup right by the cattle grazing on the mesa.  But what happens when he meets a coyote sleeping in the sun?

The Gingerbread Cowboy was the 2007 Arizona Governor’s First Grade Book. A special edition of 100,000 copies was distributed to every first grader in the state.

Here are a handful of reviews:

5.0 out of 5 stars "super” Reviewed in France on May 5, 2021

 

Five Stars  "A great contrast to the traditional English version. Used it in KS1."    —Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 2, 2015

"A delightful, infectiously cheerful, Southwestern rendition of a familiar story. Phrases used to describe biscuits, such as "plump as pillows, soft as clouds and tasty as a big Texas Barbecue," just roll off the tongue ..." The lively text demands to be read aloud ... A fresh version of an old favorite."
         
 — School Library Journal, August, 2006

"Sure to delight youngsters, as well as introduce them to the flora, fauna and geography of the west ... A welcome change of setting for the Gingerbread Man, sure to find a spot on the library shelf."
