The Gingerbread Man

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Diana Mayo & Diana Mayo. A gingerbread man named Johnny Cake outruns Ollie Blaster and his aunts, ditchers (ditch diggers) and stitchers (women sewing), and a hare and a bear. But Johnny's outsmarted by a fox who claims to be semi-deaf and asks him to come closer and speak louder. The straightforward retelling is unremarkable, but the colorful acrylic illustrations are appealing.
