A Kamishibai Story

A couple of weeks ago, Lamby, Flossie and I travelled down to Birmingham to meet Wendy, Sid and Ginge from The Sidlaw Hare  http://www.thesidlawhare.co.uk/

Wendy has re-worded the traditional tale The Gingerbread Man and has devised a special frame to hold the story. 
She very kindly said we could use it in this week's storyblog. We hope you enjoy it.
