Taste of Gingerbread

January 1, 2008 by Allie

Yesterday my friend Dakota, age 3, stopped by the library.  He, his mother and baby sister, are faithful story-time attenders, and Dakota had been singing the Gingerbread Man’s infamous “Can’t catch me” chant ever since hearing it in a story-time 2 weeks prior.  Now he and his mother wanted to check-out the version of the story that I had shared: The Gingerbread Man retold by Eric A. Kimmel. Choosing a version of the Gingerbread Man story can be tricky due to the sad demise of the main character in most versions. Kimmel, however, manages to remain true to the story (the Gingerbread Man still gets eaten by the fox) yet end on a positive note with a catchy little rhyme: “For gingerbread men return, it’s said, / When someone bakes some gingerbread.” Dakota, for one, was certainly ready for a second helping! – The Gingerbread Man by Eric A. Kimmel
