It's true, there were some pretty long faces in class the day the Gingerbread Man ran away. Luckily for the kids, Mr. GM is a reliable correspondent and has been sending postcards from each stop in his extensive travels. There have also been a few sightings, but no one even gets close before he's off and running again... Every day Claire comes home with a new installment of the Continuing Adventures of the Gingerbread Man, and most recently he wrote from Outer Space! His progress is being charted on a big world map in the classroom, and they're running out of space for all his missives. What I would really like to do is climb into his suitcase, but I guess I'd have to catch him first, and he's a very elusive character...

this is absolutely adorable. i LOVE it. just wish i would have done the same when zia was that age, but of course amelie hadn't come out in the theaters yet ;-). incidentally your review of lisey's story has resulted in it being on my "to read list"--after middlesex, which i'm currently reading, and the bad girl, but mario llosa vargas (sp?)
