Next, the Gingerbread Girl climbed on top of the fox, and at first it looked like her fate would be the same as that of her brother……. The sneaky fox then offers the Gingerbread Girl a ride across the same river her brother had to cross to escape the crowd that was in hot pursuit. He introduces himself as a ‘friend of her brother and says it looks like trouble runs in her family’. You can’t catch me, I’m the Gingerbread girl!” All looks hopeful until she encounters the same fox that destroyed her brother. As the story progresses they open up the oven, she dashes out and begins to run through the town shouting “I’ll run and I’ll run with a leap and a twirl. When the girl cookie awakens in the oven, she overhears them talking and declares that she will not end up like her brother. The Gingerbread Girl is his sister and while the old couple is baking her they reminisced about the brother’s folly. He was successful until he came up against the sneaky fox that ate him. As we all know, the Gingerbread boy escaped and ran away from the old couple. This morning I read a book with my son called the Gingerbread Girl (by Lisa Campbell Ernst).
