The story of the Gingerbread Boy gives new meaning to clever as a fox.
The author and illustrator, Paul Galdone, revives an old classic folktale which is sure to entertain and delight young listeners.
The illustrations are classic and gives a timeless feeling to the story.
The story is repetitive which appeals to young children as they take the first steps into reading.
The Gingerbread Boy is a story that takes place at the home of a little old woman and a little old man who don’t have any children. So the little old woman makes a Gingerbread Boy.
When the Gingerbread Boy came out of the oven, he ran away. He didn’t want to get eaten and thought he was very smart, so he ran away as fast as he could.
With everyone not too far behind, the Gingerbread Boy came to a river and entrusted a fox to take him across.
While he’s on the fox’s back, the Gingerbread Boy thinks he was so clever, he out-smarted a little old woman, a little old man, a cow, a horse, a barn full of threshers and a field full of mowers.
But what he doesn’t know is that you can’t out-smart a fox.
The Gingerbread Boy is a fun story and will continue to entertain children for generations to come.

Not your typical childhood would be predicted for a girl with a name like Olive Elizabeth Julia Jerome.

From the very start, Olive stood out from all the rest. She liked being different.

Her parents recite with encouragement, “She’s no ordinary Olive.”

With a great imagination, Olive is not afraid to try new things. She does her best to make breakfast for her parents even though it happens to be raisin pancakes with bubble gum and oatmeal with pickles!

Whether Olive is spending time outside, attending school for the first time, daydreaming instead of doing her schoolwork or quietly sitting in the principal’s office, her imagination takes over and a new adventure begins.

“No Ordinary Olive” is a fun story which has a light-hearted theme on learning to be yourself.

The illustrator uses splendid details to reinforce Olive’s personality and sense of personal expression.

I would recommend this delightful story, it has a lot of character.

While The Kissing Hand holds the Ed Press Winner Seal for Excellence in Educational Publishing, you’ll soon realize why, once you start this delightful story.
Children and parents alike are faced sooner or later with separation from each other. Going to school for the first time can bring uncertainty and often time sadness. Through this heartwarming story, Mrs. Raccoon reassures her son, Chester, that going to school can be fun. She instills confidence in him while acknowledging his uncertainty with a loving solution. The illustrations are charming and show real feelings and expressions to impact the meaning of the author’s message.
I would encourage this delightful story to be included in any child’s collection of bedtime favorites.
