This story begins with a little old man and a little old woman making a gingerbread man. They mix the batter, shape the dough, and decorate him. Next, they cook him and after a while, they can tell he is all done because of the wonderful smell coming from the oven. When they open the oven to take him out, the gingerbread man runs away! The gingerbread man runs and runs away from everyone. He is too fast to catch! Eventually, a fox tricks the gingerbread man into getting close enough to him and the fox eats the gingerbread man.
I would definitely use this book in my classroom. It is such a fun read-aloud book. It has lots of repetition and rhyme in it. It is great for younger kids or kids who do not really enjoy reading because it is not too complicated or hard to understand. I would use this to get students interested in books and reading and I think it would be fun to let students do a coloring page that goes along with the story. If I were teaching kids who were a bit older, I would do an activity with the rhyming words in the story.
