Illustrated by
Mike Lowery.
The indefatigable star of The Gingerbread Man Loose in the School joins his class on a field trip to the fire station. After being chased by Spot the Dalmatian, the cookie leaps onto a fire truck, off to battle a blaze. Cartoony illustrations, varying among panels, full pages, and double-page spreads, help set the pace. The bouncy rhymes incorporate some fire-fighting terms.
