Review Detail

I get excited when my daughters pick this book to read. The pictures are so cute and the layout, in sort of a comic-book style, makes it an easy to follow sequence of events.

When the class makes a gingerbread man and then promptly leaves for recess, what they don't realize is that he is going to chase THEM--they left him behind! The cadence and sing-songy rhythm of the story makes it a fantastic read-aloud book, and I thoroughly enjoy talking in a high-pitched, goofy voice for my girls as I read the gingerbread man's parts. This book is fun and funny.
