The Gingerbread Man Loose at The Zoo

PRAISE for The Gingerbread Man Loose in the School
* "Told in spot-on, deadpan rhyme and illustrated in large, comic-book-style panels, this title will leave kids giggling as they follow the sometimes dire consequences of the G-man's efforts to be reunited with his class. . . . This reinvention of a venerable figure is funny to the max." - Booklist, starred review

"Lowery's cartoon-panel mixed-media illustrations imbue the highly sympathetic, wide-eyed confection with an abundance of personality...there's an endearing sweetness to this Gingerbread Man." - The Horn Book

PRAISE for The Gingerbread Man Loose on the Fire Truck
"Murray's vigorous rhythms stay at full speed throughout, keeping up with Lowery's action-filled illustrations . . . . This sequel doesn't disappoint." - Kirkus Reviews

"The Gingerbread Man's self-guided tour allows readers to see the ins and outs of a fire station . . . . Lowery's cartoony illustrations, varying among panels, full pages, and double-page spreads, help set the story's pace and establish a not-scary tone: it's clear no cookies were burnt in the making of this book." - The Horn Book

Praise for The Gingerbread Man Loose at Christmas
"The rhyming text is patter-perfect, with lots of humor and action. . . . A jolly treat with a sweet acknowledgement of the gifts teachers give their students all year long." - Kirkus Reviews
