I thought this book was unique because it was meant to be read as a musical tune. The story flowed very nicely, but it did not keep me very interested. It was an easy read, but it did have some good vocabulary words thrown in to challenge readers. I likes that the author added a list of those vocab words at the end of the book with their definitions. This is a good way for young readers to better comprehend the story and build their vocabulary at the same time, especially if they are reading alone and get stuck on words.

I liked this book it is enjoyable for kids and adluts. As you read you sing along with the song it is so cute. It is also really nice because in the back of the book it has the lyrics for you and the sheet music for you if you wanted to play something with it. It is also nice because it has a CD in the back do you can listen to it.

The typical gingerbread man story where an older couple bakes a gingerbread man who runs off and in the end gets eaten by a fox. I love the rhyme and repetition of it so it would be a very good read aloud for children.

Cute illustrations but not much care put into the retelling of the story.
