Outreach Storytimes--Gingerbread

I was able to visit two childcare center this month and present a Gingerbread/Cookie Storytime!

Books

The Gingerbread Boy

by Paul Galdone

Depending on the age of the group I  skipped the threshers or the threshers and mowers so the book wasn't too long.

And one of the following:

Ginger Bear

Gingerbread Man Song 

(tune: The Muffin Man)

Oh, do you know the Gingerbread Man,
The Gingerbread Man, the Gingerbread Man?
Oh, do you know the Gingerbread Man,
Who ran and ran and ran?

He said, "Catch me if you can,
If you can, if you can."
He said, "Catch me if you can,"
Then ran and ran and ran.

I can run like the Gingerbread Man.
The Gingerbread Man, the Gingerbread Man.
I can run like the Gingerbread Man,
Now catch me if you can.
