I love all things gingerbread,,,,,

I love all things gingerbread because it is a link to my past and my future! I have recipes from my grandmother that I made for my grandson at age 18 months! He loved everything about the gingerbread man at age 20 months before he could even clearly say the word. His love for gingerbread continues - h e is now a wonderful young man (ALMOST 20) years In college and still requests gingerbread cookies. How good does life get when generations converge! I love this version because life goes on! and in this version of the gingerbread man, life goes on!

The Gingerbread ManHave you ever chased a gingerbread man after it jumped out of the oven? A lot of people, a cow, and a fox run after just one gingerbread man in this story. Will anyone eat the Gingerbread man? This book is funny and good. I like how they all chase after the Gingerbread man.

Can't Read It Enough To My Little One - LOVE IT ****

I recall this book and bought it because it was the exact one I read when I was a child. I love how it repeats and how the photos are just so colorful. I read this one every night to my daughter and my favorite part is the ending when the Gingerbreadman gets eaten but it's not sad because they remind us how they come back again when we bake more gingerbread men. It's a must for anyone who loves the classics.
