Customer Reviews

The Gingerbread Man

Book was in very good shape.

Good version

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.

kids will enjoy

I read this book as A kid, and now my I'm reading it to my grandaughter, and we love it.

Cant catch me

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.

Run Run as fast as you can:one of my

favorite childhood stories. This gets little children very excited and interested in the story. The Gingerbread man also develops basic reading skills.

Fairyrebel

It is a really good book for people who like fanyasy. Exspecially fairies.
