This Wild West version of the traditional tale is sure to delight
youngsters, as well as introduce them to the flora, fauna and
geography of the west. Tired of biscuits for breakfast every
morning, the rancher's wife cuts out some gingerbread dough in the
shape of a cowboy-boots on his feet, hat on his head, vest with
fringe, big belt buckle. But when the rancher peeks in the oven,
the Gingerbread Cowboy runs away. "Giddyup, giddyup as fast as you
can. You can't catch me, I'm the Gingerbread Man." In his travels,
he meets a horned lizard, a roadrunner, a band of javelinas, a herd
of long-horned cattle, some cowboys and finally, the coyote, who
offers to ferry him across the river. Berry's warm palette
perfectly suits the desert scenery. Her illustrations give readers
a close-up view of many lesser-known animals and plants. A welcome
change of setting for the Gingerbread Man, sure to find a spot on
the library shelf. (Picture book. 3-8) (Kirkus Reviews)
"Giddyup, giddyup as fast as you can. You can't catch me, I'm
the Gingerbread Man "
The Gingerbread Cowboy can run from the rancher, he can dash
past the javelinas, and he can giddyup right by the cattle grazing
on the mesa. But what happens when he meets a coyote sleeping in
the sun?
Janet Squires and Holly Berry retell this classic tale with a
Wild Western flair, filled with rodeo-romping fun.
