A little different than the traditional story by using mice and other animals that would be chasing the Gingerbread Man. It has the basic story line just worded a little differently. The ending with the fox is still the same. This could be a good book to use to compare and contrast with children with a more traditional story.

Interesting art. Not a style I like for the gingerbread man story, though. I don't like this version of the text, either. However, the illustrations are fascinating to flip through in and of themselves--skipping the print narration.

This book is perfect for a kid that just learned how to read and wants a little more of a challenge. It has really good color.

Don't tell this story with MICE as the main characters! Come on now.
