Work detailsThe Gingerbread Man by Eric A. Kimmel
None. Classic gingerbread man story. Wonderful illustrations in this book. The differences I did notice is that in this version of the gingerbread man, a dog and a horse are included which is not the case in other gingerbread man book. A must read classic tale! ( )This retelling of the Gingerbread Man looks like a classic retelling. The words are mostly separated from the illustrations by white space on the page but it is not limited to whole page. The illustrations which look drawn and painted run onto other pages and gives great details to the surrounding. The story clearly takes place in the country which is known by the animals and also how the man and woman are dressed. The end of the book does tell the reader that even though the fox did eat the gingerbread man that he is not gone forever. I would definitely recommend this book to be read-aloud in class then possibly make gingerbread men or decorate them. I loved the story of "The Gingerbread Man" when I was younger. Megan Lloyd did a great job re-telling the story and adding great color to the illustrations. This is the classic tale most children are familiar with. An old lady and an old man decide to bake a Gingerbread Man and decorate him with licorice eyes, icing mouth, and peppermint buttons. Once they’re done decorating him, he escapes and runs through the town. Several people try to stop him on his run, including a pig, dog, horse, cow, and the old man and lady. Then the Gingerbread Man came to a lake. He has all these characters chasing after him, and now he has nowhere to go. Luckily the fox was there. The fox said he would help the Gingerbread Man cross, all he had to do was hop on his tail. When the water rose, he moved to his back, then his head, then his snout, then… Details: This book was written to interest children in grades K-3 and is on a 2.1 reading level. The story is a famous fairy tile about the gingerbread man running away from everyone. The illustration is by Megan Lloyd, and she does a style can can keep a child attention to the story useing different colors that bring out the story. no reviews | add a review
