Revenge of the Gingerbread Man!

Amazon, 2006, Digital

Product Description

“Revenge of the Gingerbread Man!” updates and continues the tale of a cookie come to life, but with a few movie monster thrills, snappy one-liners and, of course, a classic fairy tale ending. I wrote it to introduce young readers to the joys of satire and parody, and to give read-aloud readers like parents and library assistants a story they can really ham up. It's longer than a typical picture book, but it barrels along like runaway roller coaster on greased rails.

As The World Turns, So The Cookie Crumbles. Guess Who's Coming to Dinner.: The ending in this short was a heart warmer of the first water.

Of course I was also delighted that the whole story rushed gleefully and entertainingly, almost stumbling-ly toward the perfect point of the story's concluding scene. All… More reviews
