Reviews

"In this follow-up to The Gingerbread Man Loose in School (Putnam, 2011), the same cute cookie, now a classroom staple, is sneaked into a backpack so that he can go on the class field trip to the fire station. Stylistically reminiscent of Mo Willems's work, Lowery's images vary between panels and full-page art... written in rhyming couplets, will make a fantastic read-aloud." --School Library Journal

"This rapid-fire reboot of a traditional favorite will be  a requested read-aloud for high-energy listeners...this sequel doesn't disappoint..." --Kirkus Reviews

"The cookie's self-guided tour allows readers to see the ins and outs of a fire station." --The Horn Book
