Reviews

Praise for The Gingerbread Man: Buttons on the Loose:

Murrays rhyming text lends itself well to a read-aloud but will also hold solo readers attention. Lowerys 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

Its winning times two in this breezy summation of the frustration and triumph surrounding a beloved lost object, embodied by one smart cookie whos also cute as a button. Publishers Weekly
