A gentle retelling for listeners ages 3–5 of the traditional tale as told by Sara Cone Bryant: a little Gingerbread Boy jumps out of the oven and outruns everyone who wants to eat him, shouting “Run! run! as fast as you can!”, until a clever fox offers to carry him across the river.

A little old woman and a little old man shared a cozy house. They sat at their table with two teacups. The third chair stayed empty, for they had no children.
One morning, the little old woman shaped a gingerbread boy. On went his chocolate jacket and cinnamon candy buttons. Currants made his eyes, and pink sugar his smile. Last came an orange candy cap.
