This is a book that shares a story while also teaching the reader on how to write one themselves, I think this is a great book to show the kids when teaching them how to create their own because the author does a great way of showing step-by-step. I think this book would be good for ages 1st-3rd.

Description:
John woke up from his nap wanting something, but he didn't know what it was. So he began to cry. He cried and he cried. Fact crying was all he wanted until.....Well if you knew someone who, now and then, has a Big Cry, you will enjoy reading about all the things that everyone did to make Him stop - Crying.

This book was very cute. I especially loved this book because it was based in Louisiana, so I was familiar with the Cajun language the author used. I also liked the small cardboard cutout of the gingerbread man, so the reader can interact with the story. The author made sure to use the traditional gingerbread man story, but she tweaked it a bit to fit Louisiana culture.
