When a class leaves for recess, their just-baked Gingerbread Man is left behind. But he's a smart cookie and heads out to find them. He'll run, slide, skip, and (after a mishap with a soccer ball) limp as fast as he can because: "I can catch them! I'm their Gingerbread Man!"
With help from the gym teacher, the nurse, the art teacher and even the principal, the Gingerbread Man does find his class, and he's assured they'll never leave him behind again.
Teachers often use the Gingerbread Man story to introduce new students to the geography and staff of schools, and this fresh, funny twist on the original can be used all year long. Includes a poster with fun activities!

Cutie Pie #2:
The Gingerbread Man Loose in the School is a cute twist of The Gingerbread Man. This story is full of rhymes and repetition, which is perfect for young children. A class makes a gingerbread man and when they leave for recess, he realizes they are gone. So he goes all around the school trying to catch up with them. I think the story is cute and funny. I liked that the Gingerbread Man went all around the school. I think this would be a great story to read with kids when school is starting up or even throughout the school year. I think it could especially be a fun book to read with children starting pre-k/kindergarten, to help get them excited about starting school. The illustrations are great! I really like the layout and the different color fonts!
I think this is a cute picture book. I recommend for elementary school kids; primarily K-3rd.
