With beautiful illustrations, Gingerbread Baby by Jan Brett has a fantastic twist on the classic fairy tale doesn't have the Gingerbread Man being eaten by the fox at the end instead this is a fun variation in which the Gingerbread man is saved by the helpful little boy. With a lift the flap ending, it's always a favorite when shared at Christmas or any time of the year.
