About this listen

Here we have another classic tale that has been told and re-told for longer than I can remember. I did my due diligence and found what looks like the original version of this story!

I'm happy to say that very little has changed in this case. You can never be too sure with some tales, but this is one that my younger boys (those who love to run run run as fast as they can) really enjoy as told from any decade.

I will say that the items used to decorate gingerbread cookies seem to have changed over time. This story tells the use of currants, which are basically raisins. In my family when I was growing up, we used red hots and homemade frosting, and these days we just frost them! I'm curious what the norm actually is these days...
