BR1-11:The Gingerbread Man (Mackinnon, 2006)

"Most of time, they were happy. But one thing made them sad. They had no children. So the little old woman decided to make a boy out of gingerbread." (p. 8)

A little old woman and a little old man had no children. They felt sad of it. The little old woman made gingerbread man instead of children! It is too wild story. But, this gingerbread man's illustration was very cute. So I want gingerbread man. He was very naughty child, and ran away from the house. He ran away around the town. He ran down the road singing. 

He ran and ran around the town. Then he came to a river. He wanted to cross it, but he could not swim, because he was cookie! A fox saw him, and fox talked to him, "I'll take you across". Actually, fox was aimed gingerbread man, because fox want to eat him. But, gingerbread man believed his said, and jumped fox's back. After that, fox led him to climb on to his nose. Finally, the gingerbread man was eaten by fox!!

It was disappointing ending for me. I like happy end story. I felt sorry for the little old woman and the little old man. They wanted children...
