The Gingerbread Man in Winter

The second book about the boastful, innocent and jolly gingerbread man who is busy finding out about Christmas, stoats and broken legs, among other hazards of life on the run. Both these stories were very popular with middle and top infants who enjoyed the sideways look at the everyday and the humour of the gingerbread man's response to it. The books are ideal for children moving on to fluent independent reading at five or six; an interest level to suit them but quite a demanding text. They read aloud very well, too.
