ginger bread books

very educative book for kids under 7 years old, my daugther liked it a lot. hugo

A clever interpretation of a classic tale.

This is a great book to add to any collection of Gingerbread man stories. Students will enjoy seeing how the principal gets in on the action and the school setting will grab kids from the first page.

The Gingerbread Man Goes to School

I am a kindergarten teacher who likes to compare different books in the same genre. This book is excellent and good for the advanced reader afterward. They want to read it again and again! You can use it to springboard other ideas for future books to written by the children in the Writing Workshop (the Writing Process for us old folks)! Enjoy and get one!

The Gingerbread Kid Goes to School

A must for teacher. It can show kids that they can take any story and add to it and make there own book. And it also allow kids to see there other books besize the Gingerbread boy.

My kids loved this book!

My kids loved seeing the principal, lunch ladies, gym coaches, and teachers chase a gingerbread kid around the school in this book. The story is entertaining (with some repeating phrases kids liked to say along with the book) and the ending was a good surprising twist. The illustrations are REALLY cute and appealing. This book's well worth the money.
