Description
"Not only do I highly recommend this delicious adventure, but I also recommend making sure you bring along a snack while reading. It's impossible to read Gingerbread Man Superhero! without getting really, really hungry."
-Steve Young, award-winning author of 15 Minutes, the International Reading Association's Young Adult Fiction Choice for 2008
An evil macaroon takes a bunch of frightened brownies hostage, and only the Gingerbread Man can save them from their sticky situation! With raisin eyes, a licorice mouth, and a kitchen towel for a cape, the superhero swiftly flies to the rescue. But flying sesames seeds and stampeding animal crackers are just a few of the dangers the tasty treat must face to defeat the wicked dessert. Ladyfingers and sugar cookies watch in suspense as the two sweets struggle for victory. Not one to crumble under pressure, the Gingerbread Man valiantly shouts "Flour Power!" just as he saves the day.
This version of the classic Gingerbread Man story is sure to satisfy the sweet-tooth of readers everywhere. Joe Kulka's fanciful comic-storybook art enhances Dotti Enderle's menagerie of confectionary characters.
