A freshly baked gingerbread man escapes when he is taken out of the oven and eludes a number of pursuers until he meets a clever fox.

This is my family's favorite version of The Gingerbread Man. The recipe on the back cover is good too. Not only is Barbara McClintock a great artist but she is a lovely human. (We have met her on occasion through her public appearances) ( )

The Gingerbread Man is a classic tale about an ornery gingerbread man that relishes in his escape from the oven. Unfortunately, his escape comes to an end by the acts of a sly fox. This story stays true to the lighthearted nature of a gingerbread man and the sly intentions of a fox in traditional literature. The story includes the rhythm and repetition of the "you can't catch me..." phrase, which is engaging for children to follow along. ( )
