The Gingerbread Boy

The Gingerbread Boy was edited by Nova Nestrick. This is a classic story about a poor elderly woman and man who live on a farm. They both wanted a child but couldn't have one. So the elderly woman baked a gingerbread boy who came to life as soon as she opened the oven door. This gingerbread boy ran through the fields and met many people who wanted to eat him. It wasn't until the gingerbread boy ran into a wild animal who wanted to eat him. He was told to run home back to his creator, his mother. He ran all the way home and jumped into the arms of his mother.

MY TWO CENTS WORTH:
The Gingerbread Boy is very similar to The Gingerbread Man. I'm not sure of the major differences but I am sure there are a few. I thought that The Gingerbread Boy and The Dog Who Cried Wolf had a similar plot. Both the Gingerbread Boy and Moka believed that life was better on the other side of the mountain or simply away from where they were. However, in the end, both the Gingerbread Boy and Moka realized that where they came from was better than their perception of the world outside the safety of home.
