Summary: A New Twist on a Familiar Tale
Comment: What happens if you open the oven before a gingerbread man is done cooking? You get a gingerbread baby that leaps out of the oven taunting all it comes in contact with.
The gingerbread baby dare all it see to try and catch it. But the animated treat is too fast and slick. Always eluding capture and befuddling its pursuers. But as the whole town gradually joins in the chase, young Matti, who did the baking and opened the oven too soon, stays quietly at home and consults the cook book for a solution. So, as the townspeople think they have chased the gingerbread baby to its doom, young Matti knows differently.
Another beautiful book from a talented children's author. As with most of Jan's books, you should pay attention to the decorative borders for more insight into the story.

Summary: Gingerbread Baby
Comment: This story adds a new twist to the tale of the Gingerbread boy. The cookie is taken out of the oven too soon and escapes as a baby instead of a boy. The cookie leads the characters on a merry chase while Matti, the boy who created him, comes up with the perfect idea- a gingerbread home for the gingerbread baby. The illustrations and picture clues make this book a story children will love reading again and again. The colorful text is easily adapted for most reading levels. This book is sure to become a new classic

Summary: Half-baked, or half more fun?
Comment: The Gingerbread Man never grows, or bakes, up in this rendition thanks to an impatient little boy. The illustration of the gingerbread baby tying the two girls braids together is rather comical.
The gingerbread being isn't eaten by anything this time, but takes up residence in a gingerbread house in the boy's yard. This end is odder than the logical original one where the gingerbread man is eaten. Is it the case that a cookie being eaten by a fox is now considered too grotesque?;) Maybe instead of playhouses, kids will be asking for cookie houses for their pet cookies from now on.
