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.

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreSchool-Grade 2–Brett's highly detailed, luscious illustrations do a fine job telling this story for nonreaders, while readers and listeners will enjoy Gingerbread Baby's energy and enthusiasm. The roly-poly youngster lives in a gingerbread house in the bedroom of a boy named Mattie, but longs for fun and adventure. While Mattie is too busy in the kitchen to play with him, the Gingerbread Baby heads to the village to look for a friend of his own. He finds some good prospects at the bakery but ends up being chased by a mouse, followed by the baker and his wife, and eventually a red fox. The riotous run brings him back to Mattie's house where he finds an elaborately decorated cookie and candy village with a lot of gingerbread friends for him. Sidebars offer instructions for making gingerbread friends to eat and enjoy. The special foldout adds an element of surprise and delight for storytimes or one-on-one sharing.–Lisa Falk, Los Angeles Public Library

This book came in really scuffed up and the pop up page at the end was torn up and wrinkly.

For the most part the book looks good. A little disappointed the spine was broken. Hopefully I can fix it.

I looked through the pages and read the story of Gingerbread Friends before shipping the two copies off to Grandchildren for Christmas. The illustrations and story are delightful ! I loved that as you turned the pages, the recipe for Gingerbread Cookies evolved. Jan Brett's illustrations are just amazing, colorful and full of detail ! I am waiting for other of her books to arrive, expecting them to be just as inviting. I wish I could watch the expressions on our Grandchildren's faces as they enjoy these books.

Great story to aid in friendship lessons

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 18, 2012

Verified Purchase

This is a fun extension story to the traditional gingerbread men unit. After reading the Gingerbread Baby we explored Gingerbread Friends in my special education preschool class (4 year olds). We have been working a lot on pro-social skills and this was a great story to talk about problem solving, and how to talk to friends and the importance of friendship. Also as usual it's another beautifully illustrated Jan Brett book.
