Never fear, this smart cookie has a plan to outfox the fox. Will it work? Let's just say that the ending is sweet for everyone. "Ernst's familiar art, here placed against gingham-check backgrounds, utilizes the oversize format to best advantage, with large characters leaping out of their frames. On the cover, the candy-studded Gingerbread Girl with licorice-whip hair stares boldly out at readers. Kids won't be able to resist following her inside." — Booklist Review: Pre-K/Head Start kids LOVE this - I am sure that my enthusiasm for this book, as the teacher reading it, has some effect on why my students love this book, too. This book is empowering for girls, engaging, and in general an all around positive, different spin on the traditional story. For the refrain, I have the children stand up as we chant, "I'll run and I'll run, with a LEAP (do a fake leap!) and a TWIRL (spin around on your toes, like a ballerina dancer), you can't catch ME (point to your chest), I'm the Gingerbread Girl!" The kids just giggle and giggle. After several days of reading this story I encourage the students to make up their own gingerbread people stories and they are sooo creative. Enjoy this book... it's a really nice, bigger sized hard cover book than most other books- it has to be stacked sideways on the shelf. Review: Great for kids - Bought these for a school reading project for some students.
