The lonely old woman and the lonely old man decide to bake a girl this time, but when they open the oven, she runs off like her brother did. Never fear, this smart cookie has a plan to outfox the fox. Will it work? Let's just say that the ending is sweet for everyone.

"Ernst's familiar art, here placed against gingham-check backgrounds, utilizes the oversize format to best advantage, with large characters leaping out of their frames. On the cover, the candy-studded Gingerbread Girl with licorice-whip hair stares boldly out at readers. Kids won't be able to resist following her inside." —Booklist

Title: Pre-K/Head Start kids LOVE this
Review: I am sure that my enthusiasm for this book, as the teacher reading it, has some effect on why my students love this book, too. This book is empowering for girls, engaging, and in general an all around positive, different spin on the traditional story. For the refrain, I have the children stand up as we chant, "I'll run and I'll run, with a LEAP (do a fake leap!) and a TWIRL (spin around on your toes, like a ballerina dancer), you can't catch ME (point to your chest), I'm the Gingerbread Girl!" The kids just giggle and giggle. After several days of reading this story I encourage the students to make up their own gingerbread people stories and they are sooo creative. Enjoy this book... it's a really nice, bigger sized hard cover book than most other books- it has to be stacked sideways on the shelf.

Title: The verse is sweet, the lesson solid and the delivery is delightful
Review: I was familiar with this book because I volunteer at a kindergarten, and it is used there as part of the curriculum. The verse is sweet, the lesson solid and the delivery is delightful. But I bought the book for my 4 1/2-year-old granddaughter as part of her Christmas gift, which will include the Gingerbread Man book, two corduroy gingerbread boy and girl dolls and a stuffed fox and some gingerbread boy and girl cookie cutters. Love the story and its kinder, gentler message completes the old traditional story.

Review: The book is huge, first of all. I think I missed the size when I was buying it and I kind of expected it to be the regular hand-sized story book.But it's A4 size and hardcover with a leaflet over the cover.Pretty cute take on the classic Gingerbread Man.
