5.0 out of 5 stars Cute and funny, November 23, 2010

A mom of 3 (Dallas, TX United States) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: The Gingerbread Man (Easy-to-Read Folktales) (Paperback)

My 3 year old loves this book. The illustrations are funny at the end of the story where the gingerbread man is actually "yelling" to the fox. I bought this as party favors for his birthday party. P.s. this story starts differently than the original. It does not talk about a woman who wanted a child so badly.... instead it just starts out that there was a man, a woman and a child ....

4.0 out of 5 stars Good version, July 3, 2008

Y. Bellia - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Gingerbread Man (Easy-to-Read Folktales) (Paperback)

The version of the Gingerbread Man is good for first grade readers. The gingerbread man runs away from the little boy, the old woman and man, the farmers, a bear, a wolf and meets a fox at the end who just eats him up on the path - there is no crossing the river at the end. It's a good book for the price, and great for a beginner reader.

Nostalgic mama "Tooki" (Maryland) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Gingerbread Man (Easy-to-Read Folktales) (Paperback)

This version of the Gingerbread man is pretty close to what I remember as a child. At some points it seems a bit repetitious but I believe that the original was as well. Its a fun story for a snow day, when you are home baking cookies.
