Author: Gaston Herbert Putnam   An all-time classic story of a gingerbread man who was baked by a lady cook for a young boy. The gingerbread looked like a jolly little man plotting some mischief. As soon as the cook opened the door, the gingerbread man hopped,  jumped and ran across the kitchen door and out into the garden. All the animals and people started chasing the gingerbread until the boy got hold of it and slowly ate it all. This kid's story is full of laughter and funny elements that engage children the most.
