The Little Gingerbread Man

A fragrant kitchen comes alive as a kindly cook shapes a tiny gingerbread man for little Bobby, dressing him with a sugary hat, almond eyes and a raisin smile. The dough is baked to a perfect golden crisp, and as soon as the oven door opens the miniature figure bursts forward, his tiny legs carrying him toward the garden’s open back door.

The chase quickly gathers the sleepy house cat Mouser and the lazy dog Towser, each roused by the cook’s frantic shouts. As the gingerbread man darts past pastries and leapt‑frogs of flour, the cat and dog tumble after him, turning the quiet garden path into a comic, fast‑paced pursuit. Listeners will enjoy the joyful rhythm of a mischievous treat trying to escape, and the charming antics of the animals that join the race.
