The Gingerbread Girl by Lisa Campbell Ernst
The lonely old woman and the lonely old man decides to bake a girl this time, but when they open the oven, she runs off like her brother did. 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. The Gingerbread Girl by Lisa Campbell Ernst was published in October 2009.
I love reading similar books to my kids because we can compare and contrast. Of course there are tons of gingerbread books out there to do it with. This was book that Cassie and I read together this summer. The illustrations in this book are bright and colorful. It brought the characters to life. Cassie really loved looking at the pictures and pointing out the different characters throughout this book. I loved how the story-line was similar to the gingerbread boy story but yet it had a different twist. Cassie had fun saying the repeated section on every page. The author wrote this did an amazing job. I highly recommend checking out this take on the Gingerbread story.
