About This Book

In this delicious sequel to Jan Brett's popular Gingerbread Baby, the confident and cocky Gingerbread Baby is back, and this time he's looking for friends. Luckily, he happens upon a bakery, where he finds a sugar cookie girl. But despite all the dancing and prancing he does to try to win her friendship, she doesn't say a word. Neither do any of the other sweet treats he tries to befriend. Unlike most "gingerbread" stories, however, this one has a happy ending. Our hero returns home to find a fantastic surprise: enough freshly baked gingerbread friends to fill a giant fold-out page!

New York Times best-selling author Jan Brett traveled all the way to Switzerland, whose tiny village bakeries and snowy countryside scenes inspired her to create the irresistible and incredibly detailed illustrations in this book. A sweet treat for Jan Brett fans — and anyone who loves a funny, imaginative story.
