About this ebook
2013 IRA-CBC Children's Choices
In this Tex-Mex retelling of The Little Gingerbread Man, Senorita Gordita--a little corn cake-- escapes from the frying pan and leads a merry chase. She runs through the desert boasting, "You'll never catch me!" while fleeing from a spider, a rattler, and other hungry creatures "with a flip, and a skip, and a zip-zoom-zip." A fast-paced and wildly illustrated twist on an old favorite.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A Mexican version of Gingerbread man. It has a lot of colorful language and includes spanish words, including a glossary of the spanish at the end. It also has a recipe for the Gordita. This book gives lots of examples of words for the gordita getting away and introduces animal names in Spanish in a way that is easy to infer. I like the story and it would fun to have students compare it to the Gingerbread man version.
