Summary: Hidden message
Comment: "The Gingerbread Man" is a great story for young children. However this story also has many hidden themes that your child might pickup on while reading this tale. "The Gingerbread Man" supports the idea that women are mearly the creaters of life and house keepers, and warns young children of the consequences of being arrongant and disrespecting your maker. Even with these hidden themes any child should enjoy this story.

Summary: fairy tales and popular culture
Comment: The story of "The Gingerbread Man" has for centuries enlightened the hearts of its young readers.It has helped to redefine the way that popular cuture work helps to shape an individual's way of interpreting the ideological work that the story portrays.That utopian feel to it; where people want to see the hero win in the end and come up on top.In fact the gingerbread man gets eaten in the end,which goes against that utopian type of fairy tale that the public genre tends to enjoy more.But for some reason this fairy tale has been one that against all odds, has remained popular, and entertaining and plain old FUN.Which is what the everyday reader wants to read, something that is fun and entertaining when it comes to fairy tales.

Rating: 5
Summary: Wonderful version of the classic tale
Comment: Lovely illustrations and repeating, predictable text. The illustrations are "old fashioned" looking and were drawn in ink then colored with watercolors and gouache. A classic tale about a gingerbread cookie man that gets up and runs away when he is released from the oven and leads many on a long chase. My children want me to read this story over and over again! There are many versions of this story in print but we especially like this one. As a bonus, the recipe for gingerbread cookies is on the back cover.
