Bestselling author Dan Gemeinhart's spooky rhyming text pairs perfectly with Hugo L. Cuellar's deviously delightful illustrations to tell a picture book tale about a young baker whose Gingerbread Man creation comes to life with a fright-yet even monsters long for a friend.

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.
