Illustrated by
Henry Cole.
Hankering to satisfy their sweet tooths, Willy and Wally Wolf conspire to chase down Mr. Baker's runaway gingerbread cookie. Scheme after scheme fails, and they give up and set their sights on a gingerbread house instead. Palatini humorously incorporates details from familiar fairy tales, and Cole's cartoon-style illustrations capture the silliness of the Bad Boys' second adventure.
