"This spookily delicious read with a sweetly satisfying twist is sure to delight." --Kirkus Reviews

From #1 New York Times-bestselling author Dan Gemeinhart comes a spooky picture book tale about a young baker whose Gingerbread Man creation comes to life with a fright--yet even monsters long for a friend. Perfect for fans of Creepy Carrots!, The Gingerbread Man Loose in the School, and Tim Burton.

In his laboratory high on the hill, Frank N. Stine has a ferocious sweet tooth that snarls to be fed. But when an eerie experiment spills into his Gingerbread batter, a frightening cookie creation comes to life! The Gingerbread Monster is hulking, horrific . . . and hungry. But as Frank is chased by his creepy creation, the young baker begins to wonder what the Monster truly craves. After all, there's no sweeter treat than friendship.
