The Gingerbread Kid Goes to School

by Jenna Bayley-Burke

 

The Gingerbread Kid Goes to School is a playful twist on the traditional story.

In this colourful All Aboard Reading book, the Gingerbread Kid runs from familiar school characters: teachers, lunch ladies, gym coaches, and the principal. Pre-readers enjoy joining in on the catch phrase "I'm the gingerbread kid. I'm as fast as can be. You can run, run, run. But you can't catch me!"

The words and phrases are simple and the print large enough for children to read easily. The ending holds a clever surprise in this sweet charmer.
