Ginger Pye
Ginger Pye was written by Eleanor Estes and illustrated by Louis Slobodkin. Bound with 320 pages and was originally published in 1951, as a child’s book. The following year “Ginger Pye” had won the Newbery Medal for Excellence in American children’s literature.

After being unsuccessful for two years the Pye’s had given up. Yet, all hope wasn’t lost after the two long years of searching, Ginger Pye was found! His dognapper was arrested and the family was reunited with
