review 1: I overheard two teenage girls in the library today talking about not having a clue on how to find several books they needed for a children's project they were doing in English class...As an English/Secondary Ed. major and the mother of three little kids I am APPALLED that there are teenagers walking around in the USA who do not know how to navigate through a library. The Library Gingerbread Man will be on my classroom shelves for sure, just as a crash course on where to start for those kids unfortunate enough to never had been read to. My five year old adores all things gingerbread related in books and this story just became her new favorite!
review 2: Dotti Enderle has taken the traditional story of the Gingerbread Man and set it in the library. The naughty G
... moreingerbread Man escapes from his book and is chased around the library by a number of characters who pop out of their books. This is a clever story to introduce kids to the idea that the library has an organization, and that the numbers stand for different subjects. The one thing that would have made this book perfect would have been a page at the end outlining the Dewey Decimal System. Aside from that, very entertaining--and I totally agree with the statement "It is particularly hard to outsmart a librarian."! Recommended. less

Not mind-blowing, but would be a good intro to the Dewey Decimal system for primary grade students.

Cute concept....may use with my 2nd graders as tool to teach how non-fiction books are shelved.
