This edition ( (c)1979) was half written, half drawn in that the sentences were mostly written text but ended with a drawing.
For instance, the gingerbread boy's line about running away from the little old man was all written until you got to "little," then a simple picture of the little "old man" ended the sentence.
I can see how this might be exciting for a kid to read (and that's all that matters as it is a kid's book), but it took a little getting used to for me.
Still, I was able to read it through in under 5 minutes, so...
