The Gingerbread Man

by Karen Lee Schmidt Illustrated by Karen Lee Schmidt

This hearty retelling of an old favorite is distinguished by chanting, rhythmic text and cheery, lively illustrations of the sassy, boastful Gingerbread Man who jumps from the oven he's baking in, and eludes a number of pursuers until he meets his match in a clever fox.
