In Gingerbread Friends, Jan Brett's companion book to Gingerbread Baby, you'll find more irresistible images and fun adventures of the Gingerbread Baby. Confident and cocky, he happens upon a bakery, where he tries to make friends with a sugar cookie girl. She just stares and doesn't say a word, like all the other sweet treats he tries to meet. Discouraged, the Gingerbread Baby runs home – chased by a long line of hungry creatures – where he is surprised by enough gingerbread friends to fill a giant fold-out page! This printable guide allows you to teach this cute children's story in your classroom, utilizing skills from across the curriculum.
