“Run Run Run as fast as you can, you can't catch me I'm the gingerbread man“
This is a book I feel like everyone has to read in their lifetime. It is an exciting book about how a gingerbread man runs away and they try to catch him.
This book is a classic story about a lady who bakes a cookie and it runs away. Younger kids tend to LOVE this book because it is a fun upbeat book.
“‘Too quick for the mother and the father, too fast for the cat, the dog, the goats, too clever for Martha and Madeline, Too smart for the mama pig. Who‘s left? Catch me if you can!”
This book would be great to use in the classroom with pre-K through 2nd or 3rd grade. It would be fun for the students to try and think of how they would catch the gingerbread baby.
Jan Brett revitalizes an old tale about the importance of being clever. When Matti takes a peek at his gingerbread boy in the oven before it finishes baking, out pops the gingerbread baby. The gingerbread baby takes off running, daring anyone who can to catch him. Is anyone in the town clever or fast enough to catch the gingerbread baby?
“I've run away from a little old woman, I've run away from a little old man, I've run away from a cow, And I can run away from you, I can.“
The overall message of this fairy tale is you can never be too sure who to trust. In the end, the fox pretends to want to save the gingerbread boy who takes him up on the offer, but at last, the fox ends up eating the gingerbread boy. I think students would really enjoy this fairy tale.
“The Gingerbread Boy“ is a classic fairy tale and tells the story of a little old woman who made a gingerbread boy and when she went to take him out of the oven he ran away. He ran away from a cow, a horse, mowers, etc. but alas he could not outrun a fox. It is a cumulative tale because there is little plot but a lot of rhythm and repetition.
