In this fun Christmas book by Adam Wallace, the characters make many plans to try and catch a Gingerbread Man!
Much to the children's surprise, while reading the book The Gingerbread Man, he pops right out of the book and runs away! Of course the children give chase, and the race is on. They try many tricks and traps, and students just love to see what will happen!
But catching the Gingerbread Man is not an easy task! In this story, the Gingerbread Man has many fellow book characters that help him avoid capture. Peter Pan, Harry Potter, Wizard of Oz characters, Robin Hood, and various Fairy Tale characters, to name a few!
Do the children in the story capture the elusive Gingerbread Man? Or does he escape back into the storybook?
Great question! What would students do if they caught a Gingerbread Man? Why might they want one in the first place?
Students always have great advice to give the characters in the story too :)
