The Gingerbread Girl Goes Animal Crackers by Lisa Ernst - NO


Ernst, Lisa Campbell. The Gingerbread Girl Goes Animal Crackers Dutton Children’s Books, 2011. $16.99. Content G- PICTURE book.  The gingerbread girl receives animal crackers as a birthday gift and they run away.  This sets the stage for disaster when a hungry fox tries to trick the animal crackers into coming with him leaving Gingerbread Girl to save the day.  I suppose if you are into talking cookies and crackers this would be a great book. The story is written in rhyming couplets but seemed forced and the flow was choppy at times. NO. Shauna, reading teacher.
