"The Little Gingerbread Man" by George Haven Putnam is a children's story written in the early 20th century. This whimsical tale centers around the adventures of a gingerbread man who comes to life and embarks on a comedic escape from those who wish to catch him. With its charming illustrations and playful narrative, the book is likely intended to entertain young readers while imparting a sense of adventure. The story begins with a cook making a gingerbread man, who ingeniously escapes from the kitchen and out into the garden. Throughout his journey, he is chased by the cook, a cat named Mouser, a dog named Towser, and a monkey called Jocko, each of whom tries (and fails) to catch him. Each encounter is filled with humorous mishaps, as the gingerbread man cleverly eludes capture time and again. However, his adventure concludes when he encounters little Bobby, who is too hungry to resist and ultimately devours the gingerbread man, leading to a whimsical yet bittersweet ending. The narrative engages young children with its rhythmic prose and vibrant characters, making it a delightful read for families. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
Reading ease score: 67.5 (8th & 9th grade). Neither easy nor difficult to read.
