Bookroo's summary

The Gingerbread Man escapes his library shelf, sparking a chaotic pursuit through the aisles. As he dashes past historical figures and literary characters, the librarian and others struggle to catch him. Can anyone stop this elusive cookie before he disappears for good?

From the publisher

The Gingerbread Man ran into a crowd at 920, the biography section. Abraham Lincoln, Harriet Tubman, and Amelia Earhart tried to stop him. “Stop! Stop, Gingerbread Man! You’re a long way from home.” The Gingerbread Man sped around them. “Run, run, as fast as you can. You can’t catch me, I’m the Gingerbread Man! I ran away from the librarian, a Word Wizard, a giraffe, a robot, a paper bird, and a jokester, and I can run away from you, too.” Even Jesse Owens, a record-breaking Olympic runner, couldn’t keep up.
