Bookroo's summary

On St. Patrick's Day, chaos reigns as a leprechaun wreaks havoc. The Gingerbread Man is on a mission to catch the mischievous sprite before he targets a gingerbread house. Racing through the school, he follows a trail of clues, finding disorder everywhere. With time running out, he devises a clever trap to outsmart the leprechaun. Will his plan succeed, or will the leprechaun escape to cause more trouble? Join the Gingerbread Man in this whimsical chase and see if he can prove he's the cookie for the job.

From the publisher

A leprechaun is causing all kinds of trouble on St. Patrick’s Day–but our popular Gingerbread Man is back to save the day!

After a mischievous leprechaun makes a mess of the band room, the Gingerbread Man vows to catch him. He follows the leprechaun’s clues all around the building finding chaos everywhere–even in the library! But then he finds the worst clue of all. It says the leprechaun’s next target might be a house made of gingerbread!

Luckily, the Gingerbread Man makes it to his classroom in time to set a trap for the leprechaun. He’ll show that mischief maker that he messed with the wrong cookie this time.

“I’m on a mission! I’ve got a good plan.

I can catch him! I’m the Gingerbread Man!”

4.3

Some great rhyming but a little too much potty humor in this one for me—even if it is cleverly foreshadowed as the leprechaun's mess #2.
