Description
This favorite fairytale is set on a farm. Children will love watching the gingerbread man run away from the old man and woman, the pig, the cow, and the horse, as he taunts them and sings: "Run, run as fast as you can! You can't catch me, I'm the gingerbread man!" A humorous and playful retelling that comes complete with a gingerbread man recipe.

Reviews"Dusikova's delicate line-and-watercolor illustrations capture the drama and mystery of the tale, while portraying the characters with individuality and including details for children to discover. A new edition of an old tale that is familiar, yet strange, and strangely powerful."- "Booklist "on "Sleeping Beauty" "The watercolors are soft but dramatic and transporting."
