The Gingerbread Man Loose in the School

by Laura Murray and Mo Lotman

Book Overview

When a class leaves for recess, their just-baked Gingerbread Man is left behind. But he's a smart cookie and heads out to find them. He'll run, slide, skip, and (after a mishap with a soccer ball) limp as fast as he can because: I can catch them I'm their Gingerbread Man

With help from the gym teacher, the nurse, the art teacher and even the principal, the Gingerbread Man does find his class, and he's assured they'll never leave him behind again.

Teachers often use the Gingerbread Man story to introduce new students to the geography and staff of schools, and this fresh, funny twist on the original can be used all year long. Includes a poster with fun activities

Customer Reviews

Book Looks like Gingerbread Man had thrown up all over.

Pages were torn even before they were turned (in this book)...being loose on my library shelves would not be cool because my kids know how to take care of books in our school. I really enjoyed the story/book by Laura Murray.
