What is The Gingerbread Man about?

When a little old woman bakes a gingerbread man, he leaps from the oven and dashes away, chanting, "You can't catch me, I'm the Gingerbread Man!" As he races through the village, he outsmarts people and animals alike. But when he meets a sly fox by the river, will his cleverness be enough to save him? This lively retelling, with simple text and delightful illustrations, is perfect for young readers building their confidence.
