5.0 out of 5 stars Child's first lesson in business?, August 14, 2000
By A Customer
Ginger and Pickles, a cat and dog who run a dry goods store are failing in business by giving unlimited credit. Their sales are enormous but there is never any money in the till. They restrain their natural desire to eat their rodent customers and sustain themselves by consuming inventory. Finally, they are forced to close the store when they cannot pay the annual tax bill. The store is later reopened by an enterprising chicken who gets a little flustered counting change, but nevertheless brings the story to a happy ending.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Happy Ending, March 20, 2010
Ginger and Pickles (I love those names!) are two kind hearted shop keepers that are unfortunate to be largely taken advantage of. They offer their customers credit, and those customers ultimately never end up paying Ginger and Pickles back. They end up going bankrupt and closing the store.

After the closing, the former customers of that shop end up going to the only other store in town that took advantage of the closing by raising their prices. Having to deal with this, and some of the other trade-men's unfriendly customer service policies, the animal populace rejoices when Sally Hen-penny decides to reopen Ginger and Pickles' old store. She only accepts cash, but has great prices.

In the end, the customers are happy, however, the reality of how Ginger and Pickles were walked over is never addressed. There doesn't really seem to be a moral of this story, just a happy ending. It's cute, and I think your child will enjoy the story.

2.0 out of 5 stars An okay book, July 18, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Tale of Ginger and Pickles (Kindle Edition)
If I had paid for this kindle book I would be completely disappointed! It is a short story but feels like it goes on forever. Overall the best part of the story is when Ginger and Pickles discuss their frustration on not eating the customers. Overall boring. It also mentions them selling snuff a few times. My children kept asking me what snuff was. That was the only part of the story that stood out to them. My nine year old didn't want me to finish the story and my four year old kept interrupting. Not worth keeping, we deleted it. But it is great that there are free kindle books, I guess when you download free books you will get a few duds once in awhile.
