I have collected gingerbread stories for years. We spend a couple of weeks
reading and comparing the many versions of the gingerbread man (or boy, girl,
baby, stinky cheese man, pancake, matzoh ball boy.....) We compare settings,
characters and refrains. If you take a look at my website you'll find ideas for
activities we've done in the past. Click on the link to take you to my
gingerbread man site:
The Gingerbread Man
at Linda's Learning Links. During Reader's Workshop, we'll complete several
graphic organizers. Just click on the pictures below to download a character
and setting comparison.
I chose these two books to compare settings because the setting of
The
Gingerbread Man by Richard Egielsky is in a town and the setting of
The
Gingerbread Man by Jim Aylesworth is in the country.
The difference in the
characters of these two stories is obvious. The fox is in both stories.
Adorable blog! I look forward to following along!

My kindergartners are having so much fun with our gingerbread unit! "The Gingerbread Pirates" has been a fav.
