This book is out of print, but it's one of my all-time favorites, so hunt it down if you can! Your library might have it, or it's worth a little splurge on a used copy online.
FROM THE PUBLISHER:
A hilarious tale about a tricky fox who can outsmart any human except a teacher! "Cleverly paced repetition and an unexpected ending make this droll caper a winning choice." - Publishers Weekly

The Gingerbread Man
FROM SARAH:
This is the version of The Gingerbread Man that Sarah remembers from her own childhood! It still holds up. :) Barbara’s illustrations make you want to look longer than necessary. (Also worth finding, if you can get a used copy, is this Jim and Barbara’s version of Goldilocks and the Three Bears.)

I've run from a cow, and a muddy old sow, and I'll run from you, too! I can! I can!Jim Aylesworth's fresh, spirited tale --- to be read LOUD out loud --- and Barbara McClintock's expressive, exquisitely drawn characters combine to create a glorious new rendition of the favorite story about that sassy but delicious little cookie.
