of Cats. Describes qualities in WandaÕs personality that resulted
in her exemplary contributions to childrenÕs literature Š her determination,
imagination, talent, hard work, and devotion to her family.
Introduces members of the unique, creative G‡g family.
Fosters an appreciation for their German-Bohemian heritage in New Ulm,
Minnesota, that serves as background for WandaÕs artistic style.
WandaÕs
books reflect the oral tradition of her heritage. OxCart includes a
read-aloud script for our adaptation of her Gone Is Gone. This
experience in participatory storytelling provides youngsters with
opportunities to improve their active listening skills while having fun
telling WandaÕs version of a hilarious folktale.
Excellent background activity for children and adults who
participate each year in testing picture books chosen to compete for the
national Wanda G‡g Read Aloud Award!
