Books like The Gingerbread Man

The Gingerbread Man is a all time favorite! I loved it as a child and now my son loves it too. It is one of his favorites. What I find so powerful with this story is the message-- "You should not be so quick to trust others". I think one of the children's favorite lines is..."Run, run as fast as you can. You can't catch me, I'm the Gingerbread Man". I love how the Gingerbread Man thinks he is smarter than everyone, until the end he gets tricked. This is a great independent or group read as well as a great mentor text. I think it would be great to read to young readers in and outside the school. I would recommend this to others. There are any different versions as well as funny version of this book.
