The Gingerbread Man Loose In The School

I'm hoping my positive review will help convince at least one person to ignore the weird title and Buy it. 

THREE PROS

*Quite simply one of the best rhyming books I have reviewed to date  

*My son is absolutely enamored with this thing; so much so, in fact, that he could care less about the Spider Man novel we checked out the same day (which is saying a lot)
*It comes with a poster -- let me say that again -- it comes with a poster 

THREE CONS 

*I rarely have a problem with stories being too long, but if there is a flaw with the cookie caper, this might be it 
*Now that I think about it, I maybe could have done without Laura Murray's frequent use of the line "I'm their gingerbread man" 

*Raise your hand if your elementary school classroom had an oven in it... no one, hmm, that's what I thought

ONE DAD'S OPINION
My wife told me I HAVE to give this a Buy.  While I appreciate her conviction, there will be no arm-twisting necessary, because I couldn't agree more.  TGMLITS is a surefire winner.  Congrats to Ms. Murray (FYI- this was her first picture book) and Mike Lowery (I loved you in Bad Boys) for baking up a delicious treat for the whole family!
