Critics Review

“The Gingerbread Man helps the kids … on a hunt for the mischief-maker … and sets a clever Rube Golberg-esque trap. Trading the hat for a mess-free school, the Gingerbread Man saves the day … After this test of his tracking and capturing skills, what will the Gingerbread Man tackle next?” —Kirkus Reviews“A sneaky, tricky Leprechaun is turning things topsy-turvy at school, and the Gingerbread Man is determined to catch him and prevent him from making any more mischief… . With a nod to all of the funny and classic tricks teachers conduct on Saint Patrick’s Day (green toilet water, shamrock footprints, and messy rooms) this book is sure to please readers of all ages… [A] fun and entertaining read-aloud.” —School Library Journal
