(3) K-3 Illustrated by Erik Brooks. In this Texan retelling of "The Gingerbread Man," a feisty tortilla jumps off the griddle and runs through the desert, pursued by a growing number of people and animals. Kimmel's retelling is entertaining, but most impressive is how the English text seamlessly incorporates Spanish words through humorous repetition. Brooks's lively cartoon illustrations in sandy hues portray a dusty desert landscape.
