I liked the Gingerbread Man because he was so clever and ran very fast. I didn’t like the fox because he ate the Gingerbread Man at the end. I would recommend this book to my friends because it is fun and exciting.

I thought The Gingerbread Man was a fun and exciting story because the Gingerbread Man kept running away from everyone and saying his funny rhyme. My favourite character was the Gingerbread Man because he was cheeky and full of energy, even though he didn’t always make good choices. I would recommend this book to someone else because it is short, easy to read, and the pictures make the story even more enjoyable.

It was about old fashioned bakery's and it was funny. The old bakerys looked like they were used in the 1800s.
