Gingerbread Baby

32 pp. | Putnam | October, 1999 | Trade ISBN 0-399-23444-6 $$16.99
(4) K-3 When a gingerbread baby escapes from the oven, he leads everyone except the boy Mattie on a wild chase. In her trademark decorative borders, Brett shows how Mattie stays home and bakes a gingerbread house, into which he secretly entices the gingerbread baby. Brett's detailed illustrations offer more interest than does the story--a moderately amusing new take on a familiar tale.
