(3) K-3 Illustrated by Holly Berry. Instead of baking her usual breakfast biscuits, the rancher's wife makes a gingerbread cowboy cookie who escapes from the oven. He eludes the rancher and his wife, a roadrunner, javelinas, long-horned cattle, and hungry cowboys, but then crosses paths with a sly coyote. This western-themed retelling doesn't stray far from the original, and the bold illustrations add flavor.
