About this book

"Try, try, as best as you can,
you can't beat me,
I'm the Ninjabread Man!"

In this fun spinoff of the classic "Gingerbread Man" story, Sensei makes an age-old recipe for ninjabread. But the cookie escapes from the oven and runs loose!

Can the Ninjabread Man trick Ninja Bear, Ninja Snake, Ninja Mouse, and Ninja Fox? In the end, the clever Ninja Fox outsmarts the Ninjabread Man.

This action-packed ninja adventure features a wise sensei, adorable ninja animals, and one hard-to-catch cookie -- all brought to life by award-winning Dinotrux illustrator Chris Gall!

Reviews

Praise for Dinotrux by Chris Gall:
* "Dinotrux ruled their world, and now they're likely to rule this one too. Bellow on!" -- Kirkus Reviews, starred review

* "Comically overheated narration... fire-roasted settings and hilariously imagined creatures." -- Publishers Weekly, starred review

Praise for Little Red's Riding 'Hood by Peter Stein and illustrated by Chris Gall:
"It's Gall's bold pictures that give the narrative its horsepower." -- Publishers Weekly

"Gall's digital artwork is filled with bold colors and fine-lined textures. He cleverly uses the vehicles' parts to make their faces, right down to Granny's pearl earrings -- her side mirrors." -- Kirkus Reviews

"The bold, bright illustrations by Gall are full of action and absurdity." -- Booklist
