Remember how the Gingerbread Boy is eaten by the fox? Well,
not this Gingerbread Baby in a delicious twist to a favorite
old tale.
It all begins when Matti opens the oven too
soon and out jumps a cheeky little Gingerbread Baby. He
leads Matti's mother and father, the dog and the cat, and a
whole colorful cast of characters on a rollicking chase
through the village and into the forest, staying just out of
reach, daring them to catch him all along the
way.
But Matti's not with them. He's at home in the
borders making what turns out to be a gingerbread house into
which the Gingerbread Baby runs. Only Matti knows he is
safely inside. And readers will too when they look under the
lift-the-flap gingerbread house at the end of the story, and
there he is!
