I'm the gingerbread man.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this modern retelling of a nursery classic, Caldecott-winning illustrator Richard Egielski adds an urban twist to a well-loved tale. This time, the gingerbread boy is on the loose in New York City, and he taunts everyone from construction workers to subway musicians, until his fateful chase through Central Park!The chase is on! When the gingerbread boy rises from butter and molasses, everyone wants him for a snack. But the gingerbread boy has other ideas. He hops out the window, slides down the fire escape, and runs through the streets of New York City, while the bakers, construction workers, musicians, a policeman, and even a city rat drop everything they're doing in hot pursuit. The oh-so-proud gingerbread boy thinks he can out run them all, until he meets a wily fox who doesn't chase the gingerbread boy at all. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this exhilarating retelling, Caldecott Medal winner Richard Egielski modernizes and urbanizes the nursery classic, bringing the gingerbread boy in from the fields to the hubbub of the city, playing up the fun of a bunch of grownups leaving work in the middle of the day to chase a cookie.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAuthor Biography:  Richard Egielski, the illustrator of \u003ci\u003e The Tub People \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003e The Tub Grandfather,\u003c\/i\u003e both by Pam Conrad, was the winner of the 1987 Caldecott Medal for his illustrations in \u003ci\u003e Hey, Al.\u003c\/i\u003e Both \u003ci\u003e Buz \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003e Jazper,\u003c\/i\u003e which he wrote and illustrated, are \u003ci\u003e New York Times \u003c\/i\u003e Best Illustrated Books for Children.
