Book Overview

Originally written for the Cambridge Reading series, this is Carnegie Medal winning author Susan Price's retelling of the traditional story 'The Gingerbread Man.'

"Once a girl made a chapatti for her tea.But the chapatti didn't want to be eaten.Up from the table it jumped, and out of the door it ran, singing,

'Run, run, as fast as you can,

You can't put me in your frying pan!'"

The chapatti leads the girl on a merry chase that involves a friendly dog, a cheeky monkey and a long crocodile before finding a big suprise in the deep jungle!

This simple tale, humorously told, is ideal for instilling a love of reading, with its repeated refrain, and phrases picked out in speech bubbles, helping children to quickly recognise the key words: 'stop, ' 'come, ' 'back, ' 'and, ' 'my, ' 'the.'

Suitable for ages 3-4.

The lively illustrations, full of movement and gorgeous colour, will have children asking for the story again and again.

About Susan Price

About ten years before she started writing this book, Susan Price came across a quote, in Haldane's Drove Roads of Scotland, about drove dogs walking home by themselves at the end of a drove. Only much later did she learn about 'bondagers' or bonded labourers, from her Scottish partner. The two bits of information came together and inspired this book, the first book by this award-winning author to be self-published without having been previously published elsewhere. In researching the book, Price and her partner followed the drove road to Mull. Thankfully, their transport and accommodation was rather better than they would have had as early 19th Century drovers. Susan Price won the prestigious Carnegie Medal for The Ghost Drum, the first in her Ghost World Sequence. She won The Guardian Fiction prize for The Sterkarm Handshake.
