I'd rather run than be your snack! This helps younger kids learn how to read, because they have fun repeating these phrases as soon as they comes up in the book and then the kids start to see how each of these phrases look when written out, and eventually they will connect the words with the ones they are hearing to the ones they are now looking at in the book.
Also, I wouldn't even mention the darker versions of this story, like the one by Grimms Brothers, until maybe high school just because it is such a well known classic folk tale that I wouldn't want younger kids to only associate this story with the darker version of it.
I'd like to find versions of stories that I have read before but with a twist just to see what variations there are out there. Or I might try to find some folk tales or fairy tales that I have never read before to expand my knowledge and views on them further.

Once they were finished they place the gingerbread into the oven,and when it was time to get the gingerbread out of the oven,surprisingly the the gingerbread man hoped out of the oven and took off he chanted "Run run as fast as you can you can't catch me I'm the gingerbread man" as he took off he ran into a butcher,then a cow,and a muddy sow he he all chanted " Run run as fast as you can you can't catch me I'm the gingerbread man, and as he would take off he would say "No no I won't come back I'd rather run than become your snack" and off he would go.
Then suddenly the gingerbread man ran into a fox and he said " Run run as fast as you can you can't catch me I'm the gingerbread man" and the fox acted as if he couldn't hear the gingerbread man so he told the gingerbread man to come closer I can't hear you and as the gingerbread came closer and closer the fox ate the gingerbread man in one bite. Then came running tow the fox the old man and his wife, the cow, the muddy sole, and the butcher who were upset at the fox for not saving them a bite, and that was the last of the gingerbread man.
The litary of this book was a fun pattern to get and keep interest in young children who are listening or reading on their own. The words were really simple,and huge letters easy for the children see or even learn to spell. I gave this book 5 stars because I like the fun pattern of the book the gingerbread man running and taunting the married couple,butcher,cow,and muddy fox Apr 28, Megan Garrison rated it liked it.
This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. An elderly couple decides to bake a gingerbread man. They put him into the oven, but when they open it the gingerbread man jumps out and runs out the house!
He then says the famous line, "Run! He then ran by a butcher and he replied with the same line as before. He ran by a cow and a pig as well and eventually they were all chasing him.
He then ran into a fox and he yelled the same line as before but the fox replied that he could not hear him. The Gingerbread Man yelled his famous line and leaned by his ear. The fox grabbed him and ate him and that was the end of the story. I found this story to be interesting because all of the animals are dressed as people and are doing human like behaviors. It is a mix of animals and humans which I found interesting in a fairy tale. Typically animals are in fairy tales and are given human like qualities, but this was a combination of the two.
I liked the rhyming and repetition of the Gingerbread Man's phrase. I think this would be good to read to a younger group of children and the moral of not talking to strangers could be tied into it.
Jan 10, Sarah rated it it was amazing Shelves: january The story starts with a British undertone and with characters who look as if they're from old Britain. The illustrations are detailed, but sometimes unrealistic. The cow, pig, and fox were standing and had human characteristics and body language which was the weirdest part of the book.
The story line, however, was very well written in that the language was fun to read and the rhyming made the story easy to tell if one had to read it out loud.
The plot of this re-telling is that everyone wanted t The story starts with a British undertone and with characters who look as if they're from old Britain. The plot of this re-telling is that everyone wanted to nibble the gingerbread man but he ran too fast until the cookie met the fox.
The fox then ate the gingerbread man all up without leaving any crumb for anyone else. This allows there to be two themes to the story. The original theme of if was that if you are boastful, someone cleverer than you will come along and destroy you.
The additional theme with this re-telling is one of greed. The fox was so eager to eat up the gingerbread man that his greed overtook him and he left not even one crumb for any of the other characters. The other characters were illustrated as being sad that they didn't get a bite because the fox was so greedy. A reader is able to form a deep connection to the characters due to the illustrations that depict telling facial expressions as well as through the text that lifts and deflates the mood continuously as the story is told.

This story tells the tale of an old married husband and wife whom decided to make a gingerbread man for a snack. They decorated him and made him into a cute little man. When the Gingerbread man was fully baked, the elderly couple opened the door and he sprang up to life and runs away. The Gingerbread man goes on an adventure through the town and runs away from others whom are trying to eat him.
The Gingerbread man comes up with a fancy rhyme and the younger readers can catch on and say it along after every mislead encounter he has within the town. I will not ruin the end of the story, but be prepared for a kleenex! Like it was stated above, this is by far my favorite children's book and it has so much adventure and fun-filled emotion for younger readers!
I would use this book in my classroom for grades Kindergarten through 3rd grade the latest. This story can be used for Christmas time and as well as folk tale weeks. I personally recommend this story for all teachers teaching those grades because it truly is a fun and catchy read. I give this book a 5 gingerbreads out of 5 gingerbreads!

I used to love this story as a child. Not only is it appropriate for younger grade levels, but it can be read by older children as well. It can help them think back on their childhood as well as think of other stories that they have heard that could be similar to the gingerbread man. This story has so many bright and colorful pictures.
The dialogue throughout it was easy enough for younger grade levels but also not too easy that older kids would breeze right though. An activity i would use as a t I used to love this story as a child. An activity i would use as a teacher would be to go home and make gingerbread men for all of my kids. I would read the story to my kids and listen to what they would do if they were the gingerbread men. I would pass out a cookie to each of my students and let them decorate themselves as if they were infact in the story as the gingerbread men.
However they decorate, i would want them to explain why they chose the decorations that they chose. They would also have to tell me what they would have used if they could have chosen anything in the story such as use a plane or a bike so that the gingerbread man could have gotten away faster.
Nov 27, Marissa Ebert rated it really liked it Shelves: traditional-literature. This book has not won any awards. This book is about an old couple who decided to make a gingerbread man. Once the gingerbread man was cooked, he jumped out of the oven and taunted the old couple, running away. The couple chased after him, but the gingerbread man did not want to be eaten. He escapes from many trying to catch him, but ultimately is eaten by a fox. This is a cute story that everyone has at least heard about.
Barbara McClintock is an award winning illustrator, and it shows in this story. The students will find the gingerbread man's antics hilarious, and the book is great to read during December, when the holidays are approaching. Your list has reached the maximum number of items.
