About This Book

A gingerbread figure is baked, springs to life, and dashes away, setting off a comic chase as the cook and a parade of household creatures attempt to catch him. He outwits and outruns a cat and a dog, climbs a tree to evade capture, and narrowly escapes a leaping monkey, all the while taunting his pursuers. The pursuit moves from kitchen to garden and across fields, ending when a sly river encounter with a fox brings the flight to a decisive conclusion.
