Series: The Gingerbread Man Is Loose

It's ZOO day for the Gingerbread Man's class! Their teacher has assigned them an animal-themed scavenger hunt for their field trip, and the Gingerbread Man couldn't be more excited to help his classmates follow the clues through the zoo. But a place full of wild animals can be a not-so-safe place for a very tasty cookie. Fortunately, the Gingerbread Man is fast and clever and escapes from the animals who think he'd make a tasty treat. The only problem is--he seems to have dodged his classmates, too! When he crosses paths with a little lost joey that's escaped her kangaroo habitat, he knows just what to do- by following the scavenger hunt clues, he helps the baby find her mama and is reunited with his class once again.

When the Gingerbread Man is loose at the zoo, he has to be careful not to end up as an animal's lunch!

Is there anything more fun than a class trip to the zoo? The Gingerbread Man and his classmates don't think so, and they get to solve riddles on a WILD scavenger hunt. They meet giraffes, monkeys, and even a fox (especially scary for a Gingerbread Man!).

But a zoo full of critters is a tricky place for a tasty cookie-even a very fast one-and the Gingerbread Man ends up separated from his friends. He needs to solve all of the riddles to catch up with his class and help someone else who is lost.

I'll be a detective. I know that I can!

I'll solve all these clues. I'm the Gingerbread Man!

Animals galore and a trail of clues make the Gingerbread Man's latest adventure his wildest one yet.

Look for all of this hilarious Gingerbread Man's adventures- The Gingerbread Man Loose at School, The Gingerbread Man Loose on the Fire Truck, The Gingerbread Man Loose at Christmas, The Gingerbread Man Loose at the Zoo,and The Gingerbread Man and the Leprechaun Loose at School!
