Bookroo's summary
The Gingerbread Baby, feeling lonely, ventures into a bakery to find friends. Despite his lively attempts, the sugar cookie girl and other treats remain silent. Discouraged, he flees, pursued by hungry creatures. Back home, Mattie has a delightful surprise waiting—gingerbread friends that promise new adventures. Will this unexpected gift bring the companionship he craves? Discover the enchanting world inside the bakery and the snowy Swiss landscape that frames this unforgettable journey.
From the publisher
That popular little character is back looking for friends, in an adventure he’ll never forget.
Confident and cocky, the Gingerbread Baby happens upon a bakery, where he dances and prances in front of a sugar cookie girl, trying to make friends. But she just stares and doesn?t say a word, like all the other sweet treats he tries to meet.
Discouraged, the Gingerbread Baby runs home, chased by a long line of hungry creatures, where Mattie has a fantastic surprise for him–gingerbread friends that fill a giant fold-out page.
Irresistible images inside the confectionery and outside in the snowy Swiss countryside will delight Jan Brett fans.
