The Gingerbread Man Loose on t

A visit to a fire house is always fun, but it's even more exciting when the Gingerbread Man comes along!

Guess who gets to go along on a field trip to the firehouse? The Gingerbread Man! But when he falls out of his classmate's pocket, Spot the Dalmatian comes sniffing around.

Luckily, this Gingerbread Man is one smart cookie, and he races into the fire truck, up the pole, and all through the station, staying one step ahead of the hungry dog the whole time. Then an emergency call comes in and the Gingerbread Man knows just what to do:

“I’ll ride to the rescue, as fast as I can.
I want to help, too! I’m the Gingerbread Man!”

With snappy rhymes and fresh illustrations, the Gingerbread Man makes a sweet return in his second school adventure.

Look for all of this hilarious Gingerbread Man's picture book adventures: The Gingerbread Man Loose at School, The Gingerbread Man Loose on the Fire Truck, The Gingerbread Man Loose at Christmas, The Gingerbread Man Loose at the Zoo, and The Gingerbread Man and the Leprechaun Loose at School!

And don't miss the young graphic novels: Buttons on the Loose, Class Pet on the Loose, Paper Airplanes on the Loose, New Friend on the Loose, and Trick-or-Treaters on the Loose.

Laura Murray was a teacher before becoming an author, and had to deal with many an escaped Gingerbread Man in her time.  Her first book, The Gingerbread Man Loose in the School was chosen as a Junior Library Guild Selection; is a 2013-2014 Virginia, Illinois, and Nevada  Reader's Choice Award Nominee;  a Florida Children's Choice Award Honor book, and received glowing reviews from Kirkus, Publisher's Weekly, Horn Book, SLJ, along with a starred Booklist review.
 
Her new book - a fired-up, follow-up entitled The Gingerbread Man Loose on the Fire Truck was inspired by the hard-working and enthusiastic fire fighters who used to visit her students during October  Fire Safety week.  And as the Kirkus review says, "This rapid-fire reboot of a traditional favorite will be a requested read-aloud for high-energy listeners...this sequel doesn't disappoint..."
