The Gingerbread Man Loose in the School

What a fun read-aloud!  This picture book in graphic novel style put a big smile on my face from the rhyming text to the hilarious illustrations.  A school class bakes a gingerbread man and leaves it to cool in the classroom during recess.  The gingerbread man thinks he’s been left behind and goes searching for his class.  From one predicament to another, this persistent little cookie looks for his class.  Finally the cookie lands in the Principal’s office.  She helps him out, explains all and returns him to his class who has been looking for him and is very happy to see him.  Our kindergarten class has a gingerbread activity every fall during which they go hunting for a gingerbread man who is loose in the school.  They will particularly enjoy this story as will several younger classes who fondly remember that kindergarten activity.
