Summary

Now in paperback, follow the Gingerbread Man as he explores his new school in this picture book classic!

A very smart cookie is doing the chasing in this sweet and funny twist on the classic tale.

When a class leaves for recess, their just-baked Gingerbread Man is left behind. But he’s a smart cookie and heads out to find them. He’ll run, slide, skip, and (after a mishap with a soccer ball) limp as fast as he can because—”I can catch them! I’m their Gingerbread Man!”
