The book I chose for my tagging competency is Ginger Pye by Eleanor Estes. This book was written in 1951 and won a Newberry Award Medal. It is a beloved story about the adventures of a little dog named Ginger Pye, and the family who has brought him into their lives. It takes place at a time when life seemed so innocent and genuine. I first read this book several years ago to my second grade class. Now it has become a tradition. I still have students who continue to come and tell me it is their favorite book. They bring me pictures and comic strips of favorite scenes from the story. When I become an elementary school librarian, this will be the first book I read with my library club. Ginger Pye has had amazing results with some of my reluctant readers.
