This was a quick, fun listen, perfect for bedtime stories or short car rides. I can't quite decide if this story was cute or more of a cheese nightmare. Bit of both? It has a cheerful ending and the narration is brilliant.

Me and my fiancée asked our Alexa to play us a short story while we ate tea and it chose this.

Highlight was Emily saying “this sounds like it could be one of my books” when Gingerella met a lonely Woodsman after he invited her into his cabin…

Cute little tale perfect for the season and entertainment for the little ones!

A hyper quick read, hence the low rating. It is excellent but almost feels too short to review.

Não fiquei de todo fã. Não percebi a ideia pois não trouxe nada de novo. Pensei que fosse ter uma abordagem divertida, mas acabou por não ser.

I asked Echo to read me a story and this is what she picked :/

The length made it hard to get through… but it was something alright

This was a simple fusion of Cinderella and The Gingerbread Man… and that’s all there was to it.

It could’ve been more if not for the short length and limited time to create a proper story, but there was sadly nothing special nor original to take away from the story.

This was just a quick audiobook to mark off another reading book on my list.

A cute, silly bedtime story that's good for what I wanted it for (introducing/showcasing different regional dialects). It's a ridiculous mash up that didn't need to be made, but hey, it's free and takes six minutes.

This audiobook was so cute to listen to, and quick, too! Gingerella was a gentle novella fitting for all listeners, not just kids. I got a partial Christmastime vibe in reading this book, because these are gingerbread characters, and I'm normally one who eats gingerbread anything on or around Christmas. I don't know if that's the case for everyone, but for me, Christmas started way early as I read this book and went to bake and eat gingerbread cookies of my own! I liked the descriptions of Gingerella and her bitten-off cookie-foot and its tribute to the original story. Even though readers aren't supposed to like the traditional Cinderella stepsister characters, I rather liked the over-baked stepsister characters, their over-decorated gingerbread bodies both making me hungry and giving me diabetes all at once! I finished this book in seven minutes or so, but I finished eating my package of cookies in less time than that. Kudos to you and cravings for you, author Dina Gregory! I look forward to reading your other books and novella audiobooks! Which do you recommend I read next? I'm psyched!

I'm not even sure if kids would enjoy this. The story was obviously created from at least two different fairy tales. I couldn't imagine gingerella she was said to be wearing shoes but obviously in the way that a shoe is styled that's not possible she wouldn't be able to fit into any shoes unless they meant it was drawn on her but no because "gingerella heard a snap" and her shoe broke but she kept running. How can she run with a broken drawn on foot? It was so inconsistent.

This Audible original is a weird, but entertaining combination of the gingerbread man story and Cinderella. It follows a gingerbread Cinderella, Gingerella, as she attempts to not be the chosen gingerbread to get eaten by the queen at midnight. While some children would enjoy this story, others might find it to be a little scary.

I couldn't help read this because of it's title, it is kid story just replace Ella with gingerbread that is the story in a nutshell. I been trying to take advantage of my audible subscription on its final Month as can never find any good free books so listening to anything with a good title.

This is such a cute and creative combination of the Gingerbread Man and Cinderella. I truly loved reading it—the idea was fun and refreshing. I only wish it had been a little longer, because I would have enjoyed seeing even more of the story unfold. Still, it was short, sweet, and very charming.

The queen's baker decorated the gingerbread cookies he had baked for the queen's Gingerbread Fair, but he missed the one gingerbread girl he had made. She ran away so as to not be chosen as the queen's choice of snack.
This story is a short, funny, combination of fairytales.

A sweet story.

This is a fun retelling of the well-known gingerbread man story as well as Cinderella. I like that Gingerella isn't a bratty little gingerbread girl.

[Stephy De Troy · Rating 3 out of 5]

Retelling of fairytales. Good for rather quick bed time story. I expected it to have entertaining elements.

[Avid · Rating 4 out of 5]

Clever combination of the classical stories of Cinderella and The Gingerbread Man turned into one cute package. 👍

A cute version of two fairy tales combined into one with a new ending. Fun!
