Product Description

From a pair of top storytellers come the third and fourth in a series sure to enthrall the littlest of readers!

Two more favorite tales join the titles in the Nursery Classics series! The Three Bears features the famous ursine family that hosts an unexpected blond visitor---in a charming new version that captures the best of Robert Southey's 1837 original. The Gingerbread Man tells the story of the most-wanted cookie chased by a string of hungry animals--until he meets his match in a wily fox. Award-winning artist Norman Messenger adds new dimensions to these perpetual favorites with his exquisite, softly shaded illustrations.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic for all ages!, August 6, 2000

I had the unique opportunity of taking a children's literature class with Barbara Baumgartner. Not only did she introduce me to a whole world of literature presentation methods, but she also led me to buy one of her books, "The Gingerbread Man". This story is a classic with all children and her version of it is great! I look forward to using this book in my own classroom someday!
