Irresistible images inside the confectionery and outside in the snowy Swiss countryside will delight Jan Brett fans.

That popular little character is back looking for friends, in an adventure he'll never forget. Confident and cocky, where he dances and prances in front of a sugar cookie girl, the Gingerbread Baby happens upon a bakery, trying to make friends.

Gingerbread Baby

And readers will too when they look under the lift-the-flap gingerbread house at the end of the story, and there he is! He's at home in the borders making what turns out to be a gingerbread house into which the Gingerbread Baby runs. And a whole colorful cast of characters on a rollicking chase through the village and into the forest, staying just out of reach, daring them to catch him along the way.

But matti's not with them. Only matti knows he is safely inside. Remember how the gingerbread boy is eaten by the fox? Well, not this Gingerbread Baby in a delicious twist to a favorite old tale. It all begins when matti opens the oven too soon and out jumps a cheeky little Gingerbread Bay. He leads matti's mother and father, the dog and the cat.
