What Readers Are Saying

The girls at once enjoyed looking at the colorful childlike drawings throughout. The pop of colors, especially the shade of blue, scattered throughout the pages led the eye from one page to the next.” – Author Groupie, Amazon reviewer ★★★★

This is a wonderful young children’s book. I always loved the “Gingerbread Man”; it is about time for the Gingerbread Girl! What is even better is that it is a lullaby that can be sung. It is entertaining, soothing, and melodic.” – C M Anderson, Amazon reviewer ★★★★★

I thought the art work was a good match to the story line…The gingerbread girl looks like one that might be baked and appears throughout the book just the same, with only slight variations in her shape. This 40-page story will keep children interested…until they are drowsy… La La!” – Glenda, Amazon reviewer ★★★★★
