My six-year-old daughter loved this story! The illustrations are beautiful. When I asked my daughter what her favorite part of the story was she said the ending when the gingerbread man said they could eat him.

I will be looking for this in hardback, it will make a wonderful addition to our Christmas book collection.

Thank you so much to NetGalley for this arc. This was so cute, and the perfect holiday read. I like how this expands past gingerbread cookies and more so what happens to them after they are baked. It helps to show all the fun of when they come to life and keeping them around. This was really fun and enjoyable, and I loved it. That is why it deserves 4.5/5

This was such a wonderful holiday story that brought a lot of holiday cheer which is needed throughout this holiday season with the effects of COVID-19. I have heard and read so many variations of the gingerbread man that it is one of my all time favorite holiday stories and now reading the Gingerbread House and having the infamous gingerbread man still part of the story with his infamous 'you'll never catch me!" brought back so many memories that I could not help but to have a smile on my face and my heart be warmed when I finished this book. I really can see doing this book for a story time and sharing it with our elementary schools to still bring holiday cheer because even in the toughest times, everyone deserves some holiday cheer.

We will consider adding this title to our JHOLIDAY PIC BOOK collection at our library. That is why we give this book 5 stars.

This was a fun festive read!

The author has written the book really well and I loved the flow of the story.

I liked the illustrations too and they were really cute and worked well to bring the story to life - I loved the different take on the traditional approach too - we had actually bought my daughter a Gingerbread House to decorate in the week so she loved this one!

It is 4 stars from me for this one!

My family loved this delightful holiday story about a gingerbread man! The Gingerbread house is a funny tale for anyone who is ready to get into the Holiday Spirit. Laura Gia West does a lovely job of mixing humor with heart throughout the story. My kids said their favorite part was the "Hip Hop Dance." The illustrations are simple and beautiful with just the perfect details for the story. The Gingerbread House is sure to be an instant family classic to kick off the holiday season.

Super cute! will be recommending to my cousins who have little ones. I think this has enough humor for the adult to enjoy reading it aloud. The art is cute and I love good christmas-y vibe to kids art (cant go wrong) Would recommend.

This is the cutest Gingerbread tale!! Everyone should read it to their class!! It has motions throughout it so your kiddos can get up and move while you read it!!!

I received a digital ARC from NetGalley via Victory Editing. More like 2.5 stars for this holiday picture book. The rhymes just didn’t flow and the artwork was reminiscent of clip art. My son enjoyed the holiday vibes, but there wasn’t any overall message or memorable aspects of the story.

This book will make kids laugh! It might also make them want to make a Gingerbread Man and House! This Gingerbread Man has some dancing skill and the kids might ask you to perform a little if you are willing! It will definitely keep their attention through the last page. Great colors and illustrations.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from NetGalley on behalf of the Publisher and was under no obligation to post a favorable review.

I really liked the story, it's funny and it rhymes! Children will love it.

The font could be improved.

I read this to my 7yo tonight before bed. It was a nice Christmas story about The Gingerbread Man and his house. This would be a great story to read before you built a Gingerbread House. It may make the kids excited to build the house and not just about tasting the icing. :-)

I read The Nutcracker and The Night Before Christmas in some form every year. I absolutely love the imagination and the fun. I think I may have to add a new one to the pile...

It's fun, it's lyrical and I'm positive my grandbabies are going to love it. Looks like I'm buying them each an extra gift this year 🤣🤣

I am always on the lookout for quality childrens books. If you have young ones this book is fun, lyrical and a definite recommend. Thank you to NetGalley for the gifted E-Book in exchange for an honest review. All opinions expressed herein are mine and mine alone.

A funny holiday story that will keep your kiddo giggling, The Gingerbread House is a great read for all ages during this holiday season! The overall message of the book is perfect for reading during this crazy time we're living in & is sure to bring lots of joy!

I LOVED the illustrations like on the cover, but at times felt like the look was not cohesive, and done in a different style? Threw me off a bit as I was reading to them, as if the pages weren't done - the main reason for my 4 star rating.

The Gingerbread House is an adorable and whimsical book about building a Gingerbread Man his own house. It's written in rhyme, which makes it really fun to read. The illustration and font styles don't always match, which is a little distracting. Overall, a very fun addition to the plethora of children's Christmas picture books!

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for providing this ARC.

This little Christmas book is trying to hard. The gingerbread man is dabbing? Seriously? And the first letter of each page is too ornate a font, it's hard to read. Children's books should be quick and easy and seamless. It was short and that was great. I liked how colorful the illustrations were.

The Gingerbread House is a picture book story about a gingerbread man who needs a gingerbread house to stay in. The story is told through rhyme, which I didn't enjoy. The rhyming couplets didn't always have a nice flow to them and felt a little clunky to read aloud. Some of the rhymes didn't make much sense and it felt like the story was hindered by the necessity to use random words just because they fit the rhyme. However, the illustrations are engaging and festive, and I can see families enjoying this picture book.

The holiday season is upon us, which we all look forward to. Christmastime is special for all of us, a time when we can enjoy the beauty of decorations and the jolly spirit, but still this period is especially important for the little ones. This is something they experience in a much more intense way than us adults, something they look forward to all year and something that brings real magic into their daily lives.

What amazes me every year is the fantastic selection of children's literature, which allows us to spend time together with our little ones, a time when we can relax and enjoy the uniqueness of this holiday.

The Gingerbread House is a nice Christmas-themed picture book that celebrates the beauty and spirit of this festive season. The front page is absolutely gorgeous, and that's what drew us to the story book right away. The rhyming verses are quite simple, I guess it is intended for the youngest readers, and in a possible interesting way it conveys the spirit of Christmas, especially the story about a gingerbread man, that is not the usual one that we know. Not only does it abound with elements that beautifully reflect this holiday, but it also describes in a very interesting way the way the house is made, what can be used for decoration. The illustrations are absolutely wonderful and without words they tell the story in their own way. Definitely one of the best illustrations I've seen lately.

Definitely a nice addition to the Christmas collection of story books that will delight the youngest one. Similar to the traditional Gingerbread man story, yet more festive and different in a way.

This is a cute book. I know this is meant for kids, but I have a little problem with this book. I just don' t like the pictures in it. If you take a pictures as stand alone they okey. But as a book they just don't work. They are all different. 🥺
Only 2 stars.

A decently cute Christmas book for really young children. The idea is good but the implementation is shoddy. I tried my best to see it as the right book to create Christmas Spirit in my heart. But honestly, all it created in me was irritation at the Gingerbread man's character. Also, the line "you can eat me now" was too much! I didn't care much for the rhymes too because they seemed forced in some instances. The natural rhythmic flow that is necessary in children's rhymes is missing. There's no moral in the book, just in case you were looking for one.
The illustrations are average. They could have been much better on some pages where they just seemed like random copy-pasted images thrown on a page.
So yes, mainly for 2-4 year olds.

This is a fun addition to our holiday book collection! We enjoyed the amusing rhymes and festive illustrations. This is a jazzier gingerbread tale; the gingerbread man in this version dies the moonwalk and the chicken dance. Very entertaining! I know it will be reread often this holiday season.
