The Gingerbread Man Loose at The Zoo
by Laura Murray (Author) and Mike Lowery (Illustrator)

Booktalk: Is there anything more fun than a class trip to the zoo? The Gingerbread Man and his classmates don’t think so, and they get to solve riddles on a WILD scavenger hunt. They meet giraffes, monkeys, and even a fox (especially scary for a Gingerbread Man!).

But a zoo full of critters is a tricky place for a tasty cookie–even a very fast one–and the Gingerbread Man ends up separated from his friends. He needs to solve all of the riddles to catch up with his class and help someone else who is lost.

Snippet:
I’ll be a detective.
I know that I can!
I’ll solve all these clues.
I’m the Gingerbread Man!

With Any Luck, I’ll Drive a Truck
by David Friend (Author) and Michael Rex (Illustrator)

Booktalk: Bulldozers and back-hoes, pavers and plows, trailers and tractors–the world is filled with so many types of trucks! Imagine the fun you could have if you could drive them all! And what if you could bring your best friends along with you?

Snippet: At 2,
when I could reach the seat,
I taught myself to make concrete.
