Synopsis
"Run run run as fast as you can. You can't catch me! I'm the gingerbread man."
In this modern retelling of a nursery classic, Caldecott-winning illustrator Richard Egielski adds an urban twist to a well-loved tale. This time, the gingerbread boy is on the loose in New York City, and he taunts everyone from construction workers to subway musicians, until his fateful chase through Central Park!
Publishers Weekly
PW said that the author nicely balances "an unembellished text" with "minutely detailed images" in this take on the tale of a prideful cookie. Ages 3-7. (Aug.) Copyright 2000 Cahners Business Information.|
