As soon as the oven door opens, the Gingerbread Man suddenly leaps off the pan and into the air, shouting, "Flour Power!" The tasty treat fastens his cape and prepares to take flight, ready to save the world, and adventure ensues!
The sweet superhero defends a group of helpless brownies held hostage by an evil macaroon, whose expiration date is about to arrive early. As he dodges flying poppy seeds and avoids a storming stampede of animal crackers, the Gingerbread Man receives shouts of support from an assortment of ladyfingers and other sweets.
This delightful bonbon of a book includes all of the right ingredients for recipes of adventure and fun. Joe Kulka's trademark comic-storybook art and the humorous antics of the Gingerbread Man are sure to stir the imaginations-and appetites-of young readers.
