A lonely Gingerbread Baby goes in search of friends

Loneliness sets the story in motion when the Gingerbread Baby tries to make friends with the sweets he meets at a bakery. His search leads back home with hungry creatures in pursuit, where Mattie has prepared a surprise: gingerbread companions revealed on a giant fold-out page. The contrast between the bakery’s confectionery and the snowy Swiss countryside gives the tale two distinct visual settings, while the fold-out makes friendship a central part of the book’s presentation.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 who enjoy adventure stories
  • Young readers interested in gingerbread characters and winter settings
  • Families looking for a picture book featuring a fold-out page

Book overview

This Gingerbread Baby is looking for friends and finds an adventure he'll never forget.

The Gingerbread Baby is lonely and decides to do something about it. At a bakery, he dances and prances in front of a sugar cookie girl, trying to make friends. But she just stares and doesn't say a word, like all the other sweet treats he tries to meet.

Discouraged, the Gingerbread Baby runs home, chased by a long line of hungry creatures, where Mattie has a fantastic surprise for him--gingerbread friends that fill a giant fold-out page.

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