I like this book on several levels. It is a very good story for little people. It has safety information that is written in such a way that little folks can understand and relate. The illustrations are really cute. The gingerbread man is a character that most of us like a lot. This is an excellent book for little children. I am sorry that my children are grown - but my grandchildren aren't so they get to listen to the grandma read!
I'm a 2nd grade teacher whose classroom is visited by a magical gingerbread man every winter. :) During this time, I always scramble to find Gingerbread books and Laura Murray's are some of my favorites. One of my students this year loved this book so much that he took it and read it to our classroom gingerbread man so he could see the pages up close! :) Definitely a keeper!
We loaned this from the library and my daughter loved it and we enjoyed reading it-has a catchy rhyming cadence. It's a pleasure to read and the illustrations are lovely-Move over Mo Willems. We bought this for her three year old (boy) friend-he's read it every night for the past week.
I selected this book after borrowing it from the library last October to read to my class of Pre-Kindergarteners. It had many concepts in it I was looking for to teach during fire safety month. . We had already done a theme on the original Gingerbread Man, so it was perfect for teaching these children fire safety concepts and because they were familiar with the Gingerbread Man, it made it even more special. Now I have my own copy for next October when I'll use it again.
Time for fun again! First, I love children's books; second, I'm a primary school teacher. "The Gingerbread Man Loose on the Fire Truck" is everything I want in a book. It's entertaining and engaging; it's very visual which lends itself well to a wide population of reading levels; and it teaches an important lesson. Laura Murray has a clever talent to make the readers think that they are actually experiencing the story - not just reading it. It's an instant classic in my collection.
My kids (2,6,7) love this book! It is fun to read and keeps everyone's attention. My two year old enjoys it so much that he requests it every night and wants to sleep with the book!
Cute story, written almost as a comic book style. Not so it's difficult to read aloud though, just in a really neat way. A lot of the book rhymes and the story is interesting.
It was in GREAT condition and price was right, after searching around found it here with the lowest price. Got the book for my preschoolers they just loved it :)
