The Runaway Chapati is a reimaging, by Carnegie Medal winning author Susan Price, of the traditional tale The Gingerbread Man. Sharing the story structure of The Gingerbread Man, in this tale an animated Chapati leaps from a little girls frying pan and takes her on a whimsical chase through streets, deep into a jungle, down by a river and finally into the grasp of a cunning tiger.
Brightly coloured and bold outlined illustrations with speech bubbles add context, expression and additional drama to the simple text. The patterned and repetitive language, combined with the familiar narrative structure makes this story highly memorable for young readers and intuitively invites them to join in and engage in oral storytelling.
