A leprechaun is causing all kinds of trouble on St. Patrick's Day—but our popular Gingerbread Man is back to save the day!
After a mischievous leprechaun makes a mess of the band room, the Gingerbread Man vows to catch him. He follows the leprechaun's clues all around the building finding chaos everywhere--even in the library! But then he finds the worst clue of all. It says the leprechaun's next target might be a house made of gingerbread!
Luckily, the Gingerbread Man makes it to his classroom in time to set a trap for the leprechaun. He'll show that mischief maker that he messed with the wrong cookie this time.
"I'm on a mission! I've got a good plan.
I can catch him! I'm the Gingerbread Man!"

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In his fifth outing, Murray's Gingerbread Man now fully integrated into the school where he was originally on the loose goes from being chased to doing the chasing after a rascally leprechaun shows up on the scene on a "mess-making spree." The Gingerbread Man and the other students follow a trail of clues to find the leprechaun, eventually setting up a Rube Goldberg style trap that thwarts the creature's plans to trash the school ("With a glint in his eye, he skipped through the door,/ not noticing glue that was spread on the floor"). Lowery tracks the unfolding action in commotion-filled panels and spreads, and Murray's punchy rhymes deliver a energetic chase with a St. Patrick's Day twist. Ages 3 5. Author's)
