The classic tale of The Gingerbread Man comes to life with this charming lift-the-flap book!
Once upon a time, an old woman lived in a small cottage by the edge of a wood. She longed for one thing - a child of her own to keep her company. So one day, when the women was making gingerbread, she decided to cut the gingerbread into the shape of a little boy...
When the freshly-backed gingerbread boy escapes from the oven, a chase begins. The old woman chases the gingerbread boy, but she cannot catch him. The farmer runs after the gingerbread boy, but he cannot catch him either. A pig, a goat, a cow and a horse all chase after the gingerbread boy, but even the animals cannot catch him. Finally, the gingerbread boy stops at a river, exhausted. He cannot swim across. A fox suddenly appears and offers the gingerbread boy a ride across the river. The gingerbread boy trusts the fox and accepts his offer, only to find he is gobbled up by the fox!
