Guess who gets to go along on a field trip to the firehouse? The Gingerbread Man! But when he falls out of his classmate's pocket, Spot the Dalmatian comes sniffing around. Luckily, this Gingerbread Man is one smart cookie, and he races into the fire truck, up the pole, and all through the station, staying one step ahead of the hungry dog the whole time.Then an emergency call comes in and the Gingerbread Man knows just what to do:
"I’ll ride to the rescue, as fast as I can.
I want to help, too! I’m the Gingerbread Man!"

With snappy rhymes and fresh illustrations, the Gingerbread Man makes a sweet return in his second school adventure.

Editorial Reviews

▼▲

"In this follow-up to The Gingerbread Man Loose in School (Putnam, 2011), the same cute cookie, now a classroom staple, is sneaked into a backpack so that he can go on the class field trip to the fire station. Stylistically reminiscent of Mo Willems's work, Lowery's images vary between panels and full-page art... written in rhyming couplets, will make a fantastic read-aloud." —School Library Journal

"This rapid-fire reboot of a traditional favorite will be a requested read-aloud for high-energy listeners...this sequel doesn't disappoint..." —Kirkus Reviews

"The cookie’s self-guided tour allows readers to see the ins and outs of a fire station." —The Horn Book
