The Gingerbread Man Loose at Christmas

(2) K-3 Illustrated by Mike Lowery. This jolly book, another entertaining Gingerbread Man escapade (The Gingerbread Man Loose in the School; The Gingerbread Man Loose on the Fire Truck), serves as a sort of pre-origin story for our hero. He may have been baked in the oven by schoolchildren, but where'd they get the recipe? Lowery's festive illustrations are a treat, while Murray's rhymes are continually surprising and satisfying.
