I
would like to thank Edelweiss and G.P. Putnam’s Sons for providing me a
copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
I was a bit familiar with Jan Brett’s “Gingerbread Baby” series and I was actually surprised that Edelweiss had a
copy of the sequel “Gingerbread
Christmas!”
Since the Christmas holidays is around the corner, I figured that I
might pick up a Christmas read and this was quite a cute book to read!
The Gingerbread Baby is back and this time, he wants
to start a musical band to play with in the Christmas Festival. So, his friend Matti decided to bake the
Gingerbread Baby a Gingerbread Band and the band ended up performing at the Christmas
Festival. Everything was going fine for
the band until the children started noticing how tasty the band smelled and
this causes the audience to try and get at the band.
Can the Gingerbread Baby and his band get
out of being eaten during Christmas?
Read this book to find out!
Wow! Jan
Brett has one again created a wonderful story about the Gingerbread Baby
and I found myself enjoying this book immensely! I loved the fact that the Gingerbread Baby
wanted to start a band to play with at the Christmas Festival and it was
interesting seeing how the Gingerbread Baby would escape from being eaten on
Christmas since he is a…well, you know…a gingerbread cookie. I also loved the Gingerbread Baby’s
relationship with Matti as Matti seems to be the only human being who does not
want to eat the Gingerbread Baby. Jan
Brett’s artwork is beautiful as always as all of the characters look so realistic! I also loved how colorful the artwork is,
especially of the images of the Gingerbread Baby and his Gingerbread Band!
Overall, “Gingerbread Christmas” is a truly
cute read that would be perfect for the Christmas season! I would recommend this book to children ages
four and up since there is nothing inappropriate in this book.
