If you ever heard the tale of the Gingerbread Man,What you might not know was his follow-up plan.This is the tale of what happened later,The cheeky, old fox turned Gingerbread baker.

The Gingerbread Man 2 is a fun, rhyming sequel to the traditional folk tale, in a wonderfully illustrated and kind-hearted follow-up to the dramatic ending of the original story.

This story follows the fox on his journey back to the bakery with his newfound desire to bake. Find out what happens when he makes an oven full of little Gingerbread Men, and whether a happier ending is in store!

The sequel to The Gingerbread Man started when the Author’s 3-year-old son simply asked what happened after the sudden ending, and so began the story of what happened later...

REVIEW FROM THE FATHER READING EVERY DAY BOOK BLOG:

" Book of the Week!"
"Perfect for reading with children 3 and up who will instantly recognise the characters and engage with them. A lovely read which works perfectly well as a standalone (on the off chance that you haven’t read/heard/seen a version of the original) and which also adds to the original in a way that feels natural, extending the story."

Review:

Review from the Father Reading Every Day Book Blog:" Book of the Week!"

"This is a charming story that will provide much satisfaction to all of the people disappointed by the sudden ending of the traditional tale! The story is written in rhyme which has been well crafted, adding pace and humour to the story. We also really loved the illustrations which are crammed with little details and full of animals (from ants carrying gingerbread crumbs to dogs fishing!)"

Review from Rosie's Library, Instagram Book Reviews:"The story is really fun, and because it's based on a classic, it already feels familiar and like an old friend."
