Product Description
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.

Jan Brett's new "Gingerbread Friends" - great as usual  
Jan Brett's story and illustrations are never a disappointment! A sequel to "The Gingerbread Baby", the Gingerbread Baby explores outside of home in search of a friend and finds that there is "no place like home"! The wonderful illustrations allow you and your little reader to follow a recipe and bake your own gingerbread baby! It's definitely a good seasonal story to read with a special child!
