This book is best for young students about preschool to third grade. It falls under the category traditional literature. One unique trait about this book is that there is an interesting twist at the end of this book. It is not your typical gingerbread man ending. Also it is offered as a big book and that can really draw students into the story.
Un indiscutido clásico de los cuentos de hadas, que habla de la confianza y acerca a la pedagogía de la muerte a los niños, pues nadie puede escapar de esa realidad, por rápido que corra.
