Product Description
The lonely old woman and the lonely old man decide to bake a girl this time, but when they open the oven, she runs off like her brother did. Never fear, this smart cookie has a plan to outfox the fox. Will it work? Let’s just say that the ending is sweet for everyone. “Ernst’s familiar art, here placed against gingham-check backgrounds, utilizes the oversize format to best advantage, with large characters leaping out of their frames. On the cover, the candy-studded Gingerbread Girl with licorice-whip hair stares boldly out at readers. Kids won’t be able to resist following her inside.â€â€”Booklist

• My Daughter Loved It 27 January, 2008
My daughter loves this book. It was nice to see a story centered around a strong female character. I read it to her often so she knows that she can do anything she wants to do.

• A Hit With My Three 23 June, 2007
I purchased this book to use with my kindergarten class, but I have shared it with the three cihldren I babysit for this summer (ages 4yrs.- boy, 6 and 8yrs.- girls). We have read this book A LOT. They have loved listening to it and have had a lot of discussion about comparisons to the Gingerread Boy. I llok forward to sharing it with my class. It is a great story that the children love.

• Great Book...except Use Of "dumber" And "airhead"!!! 16 December, 2008
Actually, I really do LOVE this book!!! My students squealed with delight upon hearing that I added a new book about a Gingerbread Girl! I teach Preschoolers, so I am able to skip over the two words that show up once..."dumber" and "airhead". It's a shame because the author didn't have to use those words...here are the two sentences just in case you're curious...
"Ooooh, the water is so deep, move to my back!" he insisted, thinking this cute cookie was even dumber than her brother. Anyone could tell by looking at her that she was an airhead.
I have a nice assortment of Gingerbread Boy/Man books and am glad to add this to my collection.

• Great New Twist On An Old Story 19 July, 2007
The Gingerbread Girl is much smarter than her older brother. She's not about to end up as the fox's dessert. She fools everyone and comes out on top. A great twist to the old tale with a girl in charge!
