Publisher Description
When the Gingerbread Man is loose at the zoo, he has to be careful not to end up as an animal's lunch!
Is there anything more fun than a class trip to the zoo? The Gingerbread Man and his classmates don’t think so, and they get to solve riddles on a WILD scavenger hunt. They meet giraffes, monkeys, and even a fox (especially scary for a Gingerbread Man!).
But a zoo full of critters is a tricky place for a tasty cookie—even a very fast one—and the Gingerbread Man ends up separated from his friends. He needs to solve all of the riddles to catch up with his class and help someone else who is lost.
I’ll be a detective. I know that I can!
I’ll solve all these clues. I’m the Gingerbread Man!
Animals galore and a trail of clues make the Gingerbread Man’s latest adventure his wildest one yet.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In his fourth picture book, Murray's Gingerbread Man accompanies his human classmates to the zoo, where they decode clues to identify various animals. Unfortunately, some creatures find the fast-moving cookie to be a tempting treat, including a giraffe with an equally quick tongue: "My classmates were busily reading clue two./ Oh, no, I cried out. She's beginning to chew!" After a few narrow escapes, the Gingerbread Man comes out on top by reuniting a lost kangaroo joey with its mother. Zingy rhymes and cartooning make this a high-stakes, high-energy readaloud. Ages 5 8.
