Publisher Description
She's fast. She's feisty. And she outsmarted that sly fox in her boisterous debut. Now the gingerbread girl is back with a new batch of friends - the animal crackers! They don't want to listen to the Gingerbread Girl's advice, even though she is one smart cookie. But they'd better watch it, or they'll all become treats for that trickster fox. With fun twists on the classic refrain plus big, candy-colored illustrations, this is one sweet treat.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
When Gingerbread Girl, who matched wits with a fox in The Gingerbread Girl, opens a box of animal crackers, the animals take off running, and each cracker recites a variation on a snappy, self-referential refrain: "I'll whoop and I'll shout,/ Make a hullabaloo./ You can't catch me,/ I'm the cracker kangaroo!" Along the way, a cat and mouse, a herd of sheep, and a scout troop (among others) join Gingerbread Girl as she gives chase, trying to keep the crackers safe from that wily fox. Ernst's pastel palette is well-suited to this lively story of "Animal Crackers gone wild," which, with words like "menagerie" and "brouhaha," scattered throughout, offers a bit of a vocabulary lesson, too. Ages 3 5.
