The Gingerbread Man: Kandace Chimbiri

A new Caribbean take on a traditional story, ideal for children practising their reading at home or in school.

An old woman dreams that a gingerbread man will make her happy so she bakes a beautiful one. But as soon as he`s out of the oven, he has other ideas! He`s fast enough to outrun the old woman and her husband but half the village wants to eat him. How can this possibly make the old woman happy?

Kandace Chimbiri`s retelling of The Gingerbread Man has a Caribbean twist and is perfect for Key Stage 1 (KS1) children who are learning to read by themselves. It features illustrations from Richy Sanchez Ayala and an entertaining chase that children will love.
