Response/Rating (1-4): *** Gingerbread baby is a cute book. I can’t see myself reading it over and over again. I enjoyed the ending because the boy outsmarted everyone else.
One question you would ask before a read aloud: Have you ever tried and tried to catch something? Did you finally catch it? What was it?
