Santa And The Gingerbread Man (Santa's Adventures Book 1) Kindle Edition

by Henley Santa (Author), Mudassir Abid (Illustrator), Michael Rosen (Introduction) Format: Kindle Edition
4.0 out of 5 stars 12 ratings

Granny bakes gingerbread men for the children but one runs away.

He is in peril because everyone he meets wants to eat him. To stay safe, he needs a miracle. Miracles can happen when Santa Claus is around.

This is a great looking, kindly retelling of the story of The Gingerbread Man - with a happy ending (unless you are rooting for the fox). It is a wonderful, warm book and perfect for reading together at bedtime. It would be a real treat in a Christmas Eve box.

As well as the story, "Santa and the Gingerbread Man" includes Granny's special gingerbread recipe and aa host of party activities relating to the story.

This book will appeal to:

  • young children
  • early readers
  • reluctant readers
  • teachers
  • parents and
  • grandparents

Michael Rosen has provided the introduction pointing out the benefits of reading with children. The illustrations by Mudassir Abid are a perfect complement to the story.

DS5 . 0 out of 5 starsGreat book, great price20 September 2019Format: PaperbackI bought 2 of these (not from Amazon) for 2 separate 3 year-olds.
They were well received by both (even though it's a little early for Santa).
A familiar story with a happy twist, great for the kids to chant.....

From the Author

"Run, run as fast as you can. You can't catch me, 
 I'm the gingerbread man."
 
Can Santa Claus help The Gingerbread Man stay safe from everyone who wants to eat him? It looks like it may need a miracle, but miracles can happen.
 
This book is ideal for grown-ups to read aloud with young children and for older children to read themselves. It includes Granny's gingerbread recipe and activities to entertain and help develop the children at Christmas or any time of year.

With an Introduction by Michael Rosen, Children's Laureate, 2007-9

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Since he first played Father Christmas over 30 years ago, Mike (Henley Santa) has visited, and been visited by, thousands of children.

Many parents claim that he is the real Santa but he isn’t. He’s just a very kindly older gentleman who wants to make wonderful memories for families when the real Santa Claus simply cannot be there.

Henley Santa (Mike) loves making up and telling stories as part of his home visits. Many parents and grandparents have suggested that he should make them into books.

"Santa and the Gingerbread Man" is the first of the series "Santa's Adventures" and the second is "Santa and the Lighthouse". The third in the series, "Atul's Wonderful Christmas" was published in December.

Mike is working on book four of the series, "The Three Pigs In Peril" and the first in a new series, "Pirate Jenny" about a girl who longs to be a pirate despite all the obstacles in her way!
