«The Gingerbread Man» is the folk tale by Vera Southgate and Ladybird Books Staff, published by Ladybird in hardback (48 pages, in English).
A gingerbread man comes to life as soon as he comes out of the oven and flees from those who want to eat him. During the escape he encounters several animals that try to catch him, but he manages to escape from all of them until he meets a cunning fox. This version adapts the traditional story for young readers.
This edition, published in December 1988, corresponds to volume 3 of Ladybird's Well-loved Tales series.
Suitable for children aged 7 and up, especially for those starting to read traditional tales.
Vera Southgate was a British educationalist who dedicated herself to improving how children were taught to read English from the late 1950s to the mid-1980s, a period when many different methods were practised, including the initial teaching alphabet, phonics, and whole language.
