This fan-favorite Gingerbread Man is cooking up something new in this graphic novel for the earliest readers!

The Gingerbread Man’s class is back in the kitchen! They’re using shapes to make fun cookies, and the Gingerbread Man knows just what he wants to make—a new puppy! AKA a cookie’s best friend.

But when the puppy comes to life and runs loose through the school, the class will have to come up with even more fun creations to lure him back home. Good thing this cookie sure knows how to have a ball!

This Gingerbread Man’s series of graphic novels–published in both hardcover and paperback editions–is for the youngest readers, full of the hilarious rhymes and action-packed escapades kids know and love from his picture books.

Praise for The Gingerbread Man: Buttons on the Loose:

“Murray’s rhyming text lends itself well to a read-aloud but will also hold solo readers’ attention. Lowery’s artwork uses an effective combination of full-page images and paneled scenes. . . No doubt fans of the picture books starring this edible detective will enjoy this tale.” –Kirkus Reviews

“It’s winning times two in this breezy summation of the frustration and triumph surrounding a beloved lost object, embodied by one smart cookie who’s also cute as a button.” –Publishers Weekly

Praise for The Gingerbread Man: Class Pet on the Loose:

“Delectable. . . Cartoon panels give the book a scene-by-scene flow, which especially works well for a clue-based pet hunt . . . Children reading on their own will have a blast, and caregivers and children alike will enjoy sharing it as well.” –Kirkus Reviews
