I think this book is a great holiday book. I does not mention any holidays but everyone know gingerbread man are around the holidays. It is a fun read for the children.

A gingerbread man is trying to escape from being eaten. ( )

A story with lots of repetition about a gingerbread boy escaping from getting eaten. ( )

I have always loved the story of the gingerbread man! I read this book to the 1st grade class that I was subbing for last week and they loved it! This story keeps the children interested because it is out of the ordinary. It catches their attention well with the fact that the cookie is actually running. I would definitely read this book in my future classroom. The grandparents that make the gingerbread man are very kind and giving people. They never had any grandchildren, so they made the ginger bread man to keep them company. The general message in this story is about possession and to teach children that not everything belongs to them. ( )
