Book Review w/Emma! (My 4-year-old Niece)

The Gingerbread Man was a HUGE hit! Holy crap, I'd forgotten how the taunt tension builds from exciting start to explosive finish! Emma was absolutely enraptured!

Me: "Did you like it?"
Emma: "YES!"
Me: "What was your favorite part?"
She grabbed the book and flipped through every page, saying, "This one...This one...This one...."

The only negative was that when we were finished we really wanted gingerbread cookies and didn't have any at the house.

IMPORTANT REVISION!

We just read this again and, I think, for the first time Emma understood what happens at the end when the fox eats the gingerbread man, because she immediately grabbed the book out of my hands as a cold scowl crossed her face and, pointing to the page, she said quite forcefully, "I don't like that part!"
