Any child who loves cookies will enjoy this inventive tale of Ginger Bear, a cookie in the shape of a bear, who sets out to avoid being eaten. As she did with Traction Man Is Here! and The Adventures of the Dish and the Spoon, Mini Grey has created a totally original book that is fun to read and fun to look at.
"In this charming tale, Mini Grey creates a highly satisfying night world where fear can be seen off and a biscuit can change its chances in life."—The Guardian (U.K.)"Enjoyable as much for the witty innocence of the pictures as the barkingmad originality of the prose."—The Independent (U.K.)
Mini Grey is "one of the brightest new stars on the picture book scene" according to the Financial Times. Traction Man Is Here! won the Boston Globe-Horn Book Award, is the New York Times Best Illustrated, and an ALA Notable, and has five starred reviews. Her most recent book, The Adventures of the Dish and the Spoon received three starred reviews. She lives in Oxford, England.
