Evaluation:
This book is a great read for ages 3 years and up. The illustrations are captivating and the rhythm and rhyme are great for young children. My daughter loves to say: "Run! Run! Fast as you can! You can't catch me! I'm the Gingerbread Man!" and "No! No! I won't come back! I'd rather run than be your snack!"
