"The classic tale of the old couple, with no children of their
own, who bake a gingerbread boy to keep them company. Just as the
little old woman is about to take him from the oven, he slips away
and runs out the door past a cow, a horse, a group of threshers,
mowers, etc. All follow in hot pursuit until the gingerbread boy
meets up with a wily fox, and ''at last and at last he went the way
of every single gingerbread boy that ever came out of an oven . . .
He was all gone '' A wonderfully frenetic cross-country chase is
depicted in Galdone''s broadly humorous color wash drawings. Of the
eight editions of this well-known story now in print, this
hilarious version is the most delectable." --School Library
Journal, starred "Galdone has already proven many times over that
he is perfectly at home with those traditional nursery tales that
are still preschoolers'' favorites, and his expressive, unassuming
style just right for their very young audience. . . . Children will
follow along breathlessly . . . right up to that last snip snap
snip when the Gingerbread Boy goes ''the way of every single
gingerbread boy that ever came out of an oven.''"--Kirkus
Reviews
關於作者：
Paul Galdone was born in Budapest, Hungary in 1914 and
emigrated to the United States in 1928. After finishing his studies
at the Art Student League and the New York School of Industrial
Design, Mr. Galdone worked in the art department of a major
publishing house. There he was introduced to the process of
bookmaking, an activity that was soon to become his lifelong
career. Before his death in 1986, Mr. Galdone illustrated almost
three hundred books, many of which he himself wrote or retold. He
is fondly remembered for his contemporary style, bright earthy
humor, and action-filled illustrations, which will continue to
delight for generations to come.
