What is Keep Running, Gingerbread Man about?

The Gingerbread Man is on the run, and nobody can catch him! He races away from the old couple, the cow and the horse, but clever Fox is determined to make him teatime treat. Quick-thinking Gingerbread Man has a plan of his own and soon turns the chase into something unexpected. With lively illustrations and plenty of humour, this playful twist on a classic fairy tale celebrates running, exercise and the importance of keeping active.
