The Gingerbread Man loves living in his gingerbread house at school. The kids there made him and baked him, gave him a hat and a little bow tie, and-oh no! His two candy buttons are missing! This smart cookie starts searching right away, looking all over the school. And luckily, he meets someone who is a great help and a new friend. This Gingerbread Man's series of graphic novels is for the youngest readers, full of the hilarious rhymes and action-packed escapades kids know and love from his picture books.
