Bookroo's summary
Left behind at recess, the Gingerbread Man embarks on a lively chase through the school to find his class. With the gym teacher, nurse, and principal lending a hand, he navigates mishaps and adventures. Will he catch up before it's too late? This sweet twist on a classic tale promises a delightful journey and a heartwarming reunion.
From the publisher
When a class leaves for recess, their just-baked Gingerbread Man is left behind. But he’s a smart cookie and heads out to find them. He’ll run, slide, skip, and (after a mishap with a soccer ball) limp as fast as he can because: “I can catch them! I’m their Gingerbread Man!”
With help from the gym teacher, the nurse, the art teacher and even the principal, the Gingerbread Man does find his class, and he’s assured they’ll never leave him behind again.
Teachers often use the Gingerbread Man story to introduce new students to the geography and staff of schools, and this fresh, funny twist on the original can be used all year long. Includes a poster with fun activities!
