Then he opened his mouth and catches him!  (p.18)

Gingerbread Man is sweet. The woman made it as sweet, but it suddenly spoke and went out her house. This book is the story that Gingerbread was interesting in talking with a horse or a caw and running at first. Then he met a fox. The fox said I don't want to eat you, and the fox helped to across a river. I thought that the fox was very kind. It is the good story. But the fox ate him the end of the river. I was very surprise. Most of story for children are a reversal.For example,  Little Red Riding Hood, the other children's stories and so on.But this story is not. So, it was fresh for me. If I was child, I would be afraid of it. It is a little fearful, but this book tell children a lesson. It is that there are many fearful things in the world, so you should be very careful.
