The Gingerbread Man (Picture Books)

Product Information

This gorgeous book, written and illustrated in Brett’s typical Scandinavian style, is more complex than the basic storyline.

For comparison, I’d pair Rodriguez’s traditional version with one of these two non-traditional titles: Keep Running Gingerbread Man by Steve Smallman Soon, a spotted dog saw the Gingerbread Man and joined in the chase. He barked, “If I catch you, I will gobble you up.” The moral of the gingerbread man story is that you should consider anyone you meet first, before trusting them completely. It shows children the damage a lie can do. After all, if everybody behaved like the fox, the world would be a difficult place to navigate. This allows children to establish sold rules for social interactions, consider the feelings of others and put other people's needs before their own. What is The Gingerbread Man Story about? This is the fast paced tale of the Gingerbread Man who leapt out of the oven and ran away. In the 1890 version by Joseph Jacobs, the hero was Johnny-Cake, but we have changed him to the more familiar Gingerbread Man. The Library Gingerbread Man is a really cute story to add to your Gingerbread Man bookshelf! Especially because he lives on library bookshelves 🙂 Sorry, I’m so cheesy and I couldn’t help it. If your school’s (or your child’s school’s) librarian doesn’t have this book, it’d be such a lovely surprise to give to them! It’s fun for everyone to read though.Okay, last one in the list! I wanted to end this list with a super cute and clever book – Catch that Cookie! SUCH a fun one! On went the gingerbread man and by-and-by he came to a wolf. The wolf said, "Where ye going, gingerbread man?" We’re a little gingerbread crazy here. Every year we like to make gingerbread playdough in December. I also love that there are so many Gingerbread Man stories out there – with a variety of characters and endings. They are so much fun to compare and contrast with each other! Thus, the little boy, the old man, the old woman, the spotted dog, the hungry crow, and the three mowers were chasing the Gingerbread Man.

Try this fun idea of some Gingerbread Hokey Pokey using a classic game with a gingerbread theme to work on body awareness and motor planning. Gingerbread Man Fine Motor So, the Gingerbread Man climbed onto the fox’s nose. Immediately, the fox tossed him up into the air, opened his mouth and gobbled up the Gingerbread Man. He said, "I’ve outrun an old man, an old woman, a little boy, and two well diggers, and I can outrun you too-o-o!"Included below are gingerbread man books that you can pair with hands-on activities. The gingerbread man ideas below build fine motor skills, gross motor skills, motor planning, direction-following, and sensory exploration. Let’s get started with the holiday activities! The old man, who was repairing his lawn mower, and the old woman, ran after the Gingerbread Man, shouting and screaming. The little boy joined them. So all three began to chase the Gingerbread Man.
