The gingerbread boy

Another Paul Galdone for us! This one is from the Heirloom Classics Collection, a boxed set with a handful of Paul Galdone folk tales. We love his versions and I'm ecstatic about these specific editions that are hardcover and so easy to shelf. Just right there with out square storybook treasuries and about the same size as our saddle stitch 8x8 and a little bit bigger than our Little Golden Books. I know there are different versions of The Gingerbread Boy floating around and in this one, that fox gets it all! The look on my little three year old daughter's face was priceless. I'm sure I will remember that one for a while to come. And now we're off to build a gingerbread house. I wonder if I have a Hansel and Gretel around here... We bought this one after getting Little Red Riding Hood for review from HMH in this similar format. Very fond of it, and bought the entire collections currently available. Two boxed sets.
