🍪 Tough Cookie 🎄Christmas Gingerbread Man Kids Book Short Funny Read Aloud

A freshly-baked holiday cookie suffers an identity crisis, and struggles to find his place in the world! Mr. Paul reads aloud "Tough Cookie" written and illustrated by Edward Hemingway. This humorous reimagining of the old English tale of "The Gingerbread Man" is an excellent way to introduce the idea of a self-concept, and to explore the search for belonging. In this version, the hungry fox, rather than being an antagonist to our titular hero, becomes his friend and mentor as he figures out where he belongs in life. This short, delightful storybook fits neatly into Christmas tree decorating at home or at school, as this activity connects to the title character's discovery about the true nature of his identity. It is also perfect as a family bedtime story at home, or for story time in the classroom. This picture book is intended for students in the primary grades of kindergarten, first grade, and second grade. Third graders will also appreciate the story's humor and its central moral concept.
