(3) K-3 Illustrated by Vincent X. Kirsch. A German baker leaves his bakery to feed General Washington's troops during the American Revolution and also persuade foreign mercenaries to defect. Lively, white-outlined illustrations styled like iced gingerbread cookies feature humorous dialogue ribbons, and the sprightly text is excellently suited for reading aloud. A gingerbread recipe and an author's note on the life of Christopher Ludwick are included. Bib.
