The Gingerbread Man

A story, based on David Wood's successful musical play of the same name, which works well in book form. The kitchen characters bring the gingerbread man baked by the 'Big Ones' to life and the subsequent night of adventure revolves around their efforts to cure poor Herr Von Cuckoo's sore throat, saving them from the threat of disposal in the dustbin. Though the print is small it is in the main relieved by both line drawings and plenty of dialogue which makes for lively and entertaining reading whether shared with a class or read by individuals.
