Description

Jan Brett's beloved character the Gingerbread Baby returns in a fun-filled Christmas caper!

Gingerbread Baby and his friend, Matti, take his gingerbread band to the Christmas Festival where they are a hit! That is until the aroma of gingerbread reaches the children, making them hungry.

That means it is time to run away. Clever Matti uses snow to disguise the gingerbread instruments while Gingerbread Baby leads the audience on a merry chase to the smartest hiding place ever--a giant Christmas tree.

Critical Reviews

"Fans of Brett's intricately detailed illustration style will find this a sweet treat."--Kirkus Reviews

"Brett celebrates the holidays with the cheery hero of Gingerbread Baby and Gingerbread Friends and his friend Matti...In her signature style, Brett frames her pages with intricate themed borders...featuring candies, gingerbread, and ornate loops of icing, they look good enough to eat."--Publishers Weekly

"In this third book about Gingerbread Baby, the cookie takes part in the town's Christmas Festival. Matti bakes a batch of gingerbread instruments, and Gingerbread Baby takes the stage with his band."--School Library Journal

"Problem: the Gingerbread Baby doesn't have a group of musicians with whom to perform in the Christmas Festival. His (human) friend Matti's solution: bake a band! New problem: the band looks dangerously delicious. Will gingerbread be gingertoast?....a gift that keeps on giving."--Horn Book
