Books with title Gingerbread Boy

***WARNING*** These are folktales from the New Country and they have TEETH. Yes, they are written for tots. Small children love the old folktales and parents hate them. Why? Parents find the world they have to bring their children into terrifying and want to tell them happy stories, about happy things which end with everyone being happy. Children are already aware of the world they are in and they like to laugh at the BIG BAD WOLF when he gets his punishment. They like the ideas of justice and bravery. Also part of them really likes kids and animals that act like they do. Which sometimes means BADLY. But the morals of the old folktales were for a different time and so we move to Folk Tales From The New Country. In this edition we have the VERY, VERY, VERY Bad Gingerbread boy. Why so many Verys? Because sometimes people can really be that bad. In this case a Gingerbread boy goes so bad he becomes a politician! Yes, scary stuff. But that is what the Folk Tales from the New Country are about. So remember, you have been warned! Contains Humor, heroes, bad Jokes, and advice on the proper consumption of cookies. Super Bonus inside - two $25 words. If your tot learns to use these two words they will immediately get moved to the head of the line in school and be on the fast track to a well-paying career and a fulfilling relationship when they grow up.

Read with Me is a series of reading books designed to develop the confidence of young children between the ages of 5 and 7. Using familiar and new tales, the fun texts complement the child's more formal learning. Current developments in the teaching of reading, writing and speaking guide the text and are behind the range of activities at the end of each book. Many of the stories are told in rhyme, and others have rhythmic, rhyming sections. In most books certain phrases are repeated to encourage the less confident reader. The text is positioned on pale colors to help dyslexic readers. The newly commissioned child-friendly illustrations complement the text, reinforcing the humor found in it. At the end of each book a range of activities encourages the child to think about what they have read, retell it in their own words, and talk about it.
