Gingerbread Cowboy

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago

In this variation on the Gingerbread Man story, the Gingerbread Cowboy encounters lizards, long-horn cattle and other animals native to the west. He doesn't meet a fox but does meet...well, I won't spoil the surprise. Illustrations seem to be taken right out of the painted desert.

Another great gingerbread book!

As a Kindergarten teacher, I am always looking for a new twist on an old story. One of the best ways to help children to start crafting their own stories is to have them use a character they already know and change the setting or other characters in the story to make it their own. This book is a great example of doing this. My class enjoyed the book. When I lent the book to another teacher, her children loved it so they were running around the yard calling Giddy up! as they chased each other. She told me that they didn't have that reaction to the original story!
