boy is one of my favorite versions because it is a modern version where the gingerbread boy is running through new york city. the story ends with a hungry fox waiting in central park.
the gingerbread boy is what i think of as the "traditional" version of the story. i usually read this one first and have students compare the other versions to this one.
the gingerbread man is similar to the "traditional" version as far as the characters he meets, but the chant he says as he runs away is different and a fun one for kids to catch onto and read along.
the gingerbread cowboy is another one of my favorites
