A review by calistareads
Gingerbread Friends by Jan Brett

4.0

Did I get this because my nephew still obsesses over Gingerbread Men or did I get this because I am obsessed with Jan Brett? Some of both.

This is a continuation of Gingerbread Baby. The baby has everything he wants and is happy as long as Matti is around. So when he goes off to school, the baby goes looking for friends. I love the sleigh he makes of a rocking chair and the rooster that pulls it with it poofy white mop top. Her visuals are so sweet. Baby has an adventure and comes home to find a surprise from Matti.

There is an amazing pullout at the end that doubles the size of the book. It's amazing. It's also difficult to fold back up, at least in a library copy. Everything about this book, my nephew simply loves. I think this one is more simple than the other stories and it still does it's job. I have been entertained.
