Bookroo's summary

Senorita Gordita, a spirited corn cake, leaps from the frying pan and dashes through the desert. With each flip and skip, she taunts her pursuers—a spider, a rattler, and more. Can she outwit them all, or will her daring escape end in capture? This lively Tex-Mex twist on a classic tale promises a thrilling chase full of unexpected turns.

From the publisher

In this Tex-Mex retelling of The Little Gingerbread Man, Senorita Gordita–a little corn cake– escapes from the frying pan and leads a merry chase. She runs through the desert boasting, You’ll never catch me! while fleeing from a spider, a rattler, and other hungry creatures with a flip, and a skip, and a zip-zoom-zip. A fast-paced and wildly illustrated twist on an old favorite.
