Analyzing Children Stories

The Little Gingerbread Man

             The main character in the story is a gingerbread man and also a butterfly. In the story, there is lots of dialogue which helps the story move along and also to help understand more of what the characters are thinking and feeling. In the children's story The Little Ginger Bread Man the conflict is that the gingerbread man is trying not to get eaten by other things like horses, dogs and even a fox. I think that kids can understand the conflict in the story. In the end the butterfly takes the gingerbread man and brings him a place in the forest were there is 2 other gingerbread people, a man and a women who take in the gingerbread man as there kid.


Buzzy Bee

              In this very short kids story the main character is a just a bee. There is no dialogue in this story. I the story the only conflict is that the bee tries to gets one more flower bit is to heavy because of all the nectar that he already has. I'm pretty sure that kids could understand the conflict in the story Buzzy Bee. The conflict is resolved by the bees friends saving him and because he is about to fall.


Wolstencroft The Bear


                The main character is this story is Wolstencroft the teddy bear. In this children's story there is a lot of dialogue, the dialogue is about Wolstencroft expressing his thoughts and feelings as the story moves along.  The conflict is that Wolstencroft didn't get to go to a new home he had to stay in the store, later in the story they found out that it was his name that held him back from being picked.


               These three children's stories are similar because all three end in a happy ending. I think that these children's stories are appealing to kids because the always end with a happy ending and also because the stories have a lovable character in them which kids like.
