A new rendition of a beloved classic by award-winning author/illustrator team Jim Aylesworth and Barbara McClintock.

Run! Run! Fast as you can! You can't catch me! I'm the Gingerbread Man! I've run from a husband! I've run from a wife! I've run from a butcher with a carving knife! I've run from a cow, and a muddy old sow, and I'll run from you, too! I can! I can!

Jim Aylesworth's fresh, spirited tale -- to be read LOUD out loud -- and Barbara McClintock's expressive, exquisitely drawn characters combine to create a glorious new rendition of the favorite story about that sassy but delicious little cookie.
