Aylesw
Jim Aylesworth was born on February
orth
21, 1943 in Jacksonville, Florida but as
an infant moved from the state. Jim
Aylesworth tells his stories with
generous doses of "out loud" sounds,
rhythms, and rhymes. His twenty-five-
year teaching career taught him exactly
what children love best in a story.

 Summary of the Book
"The Gingerbread Man" is a fairy
tale about a gingerbread man who
comes to life. He outruns an elderly
couple and various animals, and is
almost eaten by a fox. The story took
place in a big farm which was looked
after by an old man and an old
woman who lived in the farmhouse.
Other parts of the story have taken
place in the kitchen and in the river.
There are several characters
involved in the story. They were the
Gingerbread Man who is a cookie
baked in a human form. After being
baked, he ran and ran to escape being
eaten. Next are the

old man and woman who were living
in the farm and longing for having a
son. Other characters were the pigs,
horses, chickens, policeman and the
fox who has almost eaten the poor
little Gingerbread Man.
There are several main events
that happen in the story of The
Gingerbread Man. First, the old
woman took her very special and
magic cook book and decided to
bake a running biscuit- The
Gingerbread Man. Next, when the
old woman opened the oven door the
gingerbread man jumped out and ran
across to the magic cook book. He
ran and ran to avoid being catch.

being caught. Then, the old man
came running to catch the
Gingerbread man and he failed. Next
to catch the Gingerbread man were
the pigs, chickens, horses and the
policeman but they failed too.
Finally, a fox came and tricked the
Gingerbread Man. Luckily, the old
woman came to rescue him from the
hungry fox. They went back to the
farmhouse and the old woman built a
Gingerbread house for the
Gingerbread man. And they lived
happily ever after.

 Most Interesting Part
The most interesting
part of the story is when the
old man and woman, pigs,
chickens, horses, policeman
and fox chased
the gingerbread man.
Another interesting part of the
story is when the old lady saved the
gingerbread man and made him as their for
the rest of the lives.

 MY
OPINION
What I like about the story is
when the old woman saved the
Gingerbread Man’s life and how she
loves and cares for him. They also made
him as their real son.
What I dislike in the story is
when everyone is chasing the
Gingerbread man and wanted to eat him.
I also dislike when the fox despised the
Gingerbread man.

 MORAL
LESSON

The Gingerbread Man

story's moral is “Be careful who
you trust.” The cookie believed
the fox when he said he wasn't
tempted to eat him— this
almost killed him.
