Summary: The Gingerbread Cowboy is the story of a rancher and his wife. “Yes, those breakfast biscuits were plump as pillows, soft as clouds, and tasty as a big Texas barbecue.” ( )
You can’t catch me, I’m the gingerbread man.” I also appreciated the use of similes to add to the imagery of the text and to help make reader-to-text connections. The gingerbread cowboy continuously says, “giddy up, giddy up, as fast as you can. I also really appreciated the repetition of the text. I felt that the author did a wonderful job adding in aspects of western culture into the text and did not stray away from the traditional story of “The Gingerbread Man.” For example, the gingerbread cowboy runs into trouble with animals that would most commonly be found in the deserted mid-west (road runners, lizards, and long-horned cattle). What I love the most about this text is how the author tells a classic tale with such a nice western twist to it. I love this book for an array of reasons. The gingerbread cowboy comes to life and he gets himself into a bunch of trouble, just like the classic gingerbread man.
An older woman in a small village is known for making biscuits but one day she tries something different, she makes a gingerbread cowboy. “The Gingerbread Cowboy” is a retelling of the classic tale “The Gingerbread Man” with a western twist to it.
