This was a super cute story about a Gingerbread man and his little story through the holidays. The art and illustrations were cute! This was a fun book, perfect for this time of year!

I was given an advanced reader's copy via NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own

A darling, clever concept for a holiday read.

This was a delight for my four year old and I, with simple and mostly clever rhyming text and fun, festive illustrations.

It’s a great concept for a quick Christmas story, and makes for a fun companion activity to baking gingerbread men and building gingerbread houses for the holiday season.

Enjoyable and free of the over-sentimental schlock that plagues holiday stories, this is a cut above most of its ilk and—paired with a gingerbread house baking kit—would make a great Christmas gift for youngsters.

The Gingerbread House is a holiday treat! Filled with snappy rhymes and a spunky protagonist, it's a great book to read for the holidays (ideally, before baking ginger bread cookies./houses!)

This is a cute enough Christmas book. There doesn't seem to be an underlying theme or message - it's certainly not religious or moralizing - but rather built around a mischievous gingerbread cookie and finding fun rhymes. Definitely for younger kiddos as I think older kids might be bored by the lack of plot and substance.

A big thank you to Netgalley and Victory Editing Netgalley Co-op for a chance to read and review an arc of this adorable book!! My kids and I all adored this and now we can’t wait to build a gingerbread house for our gingerbread man!! I can see me reaching for this each year as we prepare for the night of gingerbread creating. Love it!

This was a super fun story to read! A great book to put us into the Christmas spirit, although, a little early. We're a Christmas family so we couldn't help it. A simple and great concept for a children's story book. I am not a big fan of the illustrations for this book but my children did not care. They were happy to see the gingerbread man, all the elves, gingerbread houses, all the Christmas-y things. It was a bit above my daughters reading level but the story really made her want to read it herself, with help. This was a great Christmas book and I could easily purchase this book and make it part of our Christmas library.

This is a cute and festive story to get little ones in the Christmas spirit. The illustrations are great and this is a good read-aloud storybook and perfect holiday gift. Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the advance copy.

This was a fun book, loved the illustrations (including the moonwalking gingerbread man and the dabbing gingerbread man!). Would I buy it? No. Would I borrow from the library? Yes!

The illustrations are really cute and inviting. They definitely look like they could be animated and made into a little video clip (like Pete the Cat does). I like that it rhymes, but I don't really like how fast-paced it is and how pushy the gingerbread man was. It's a cute little book to read at Christmas time though.

I know of several children will love the sing song type rhymes that run throughout this book. As a baker, I love the line "Home is where the cookies are!"

Super cute illustrations and story, loved it! Great twist on the classic holiday and gingerbread man story.

Okay this is an adorable holiday book and would be perfect for story time to a group of kids! The illustrations are clean and cute and the story is fun!

I just loved this story it was the cutest story about the gingerbread needing a home. I loved the rhyme and repetition in the story. My grandson adored this story , I would love to have a copy at home and for my library at school. I would love to make some things to go along with the story for my teachers pay teachers store. The illustrations in this story are adorable and the plot just fit right at this time of the year. This story just popped with the lively gingerbread man , I loved when you had him dab. Just the cutest story.

An ‘updated’ take on the old folktale of The Gingerbread Man, with a new twist. Every Christmas season gingerbread men come to life, and they dance! Hip-hop dancing gingerbread men who moonwalk on shelves, do the twist, as well as the chicken dance - one after the other. If you want them to stop, you’ll need to build a house! Of course, it’s a Gingerbread house.

The ending adds a touch of sweet, ending with:
<i>’Tis the season for giving.
It’s better by far.

After all, home is where…
All the cookies are…
Merry Christmas!</i>

This will especially appeal to the youngest family members, who will enjoy the rhythm and rhyme it provides, as well as the illustrations - especially the gingerbread holiday decorations.

It was a nicely illustrated Christmas book. I am not all that sure about the story. It started out cute but got a bit weird for me at the end.

Very cute take on the Gingerbread Man. Wonderful illustrations to accompany a warm holiday story. This would be a great addition to any child's library.

I received an advance reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.

The Gingerbread House is a cute, funny and full of christmas spirit children's books with a fun version of the gingerbread man tale.
The illustrations are warm and inviting and the rhyming versed story will make your audience giggle.
This is a great book to treat a little one to over Christmas.

My 4 year old son loved this book and immediately asked for it to be read again. It would be so much fun to “act” out the book with the relevant dance moves and creating a gingerbread house to invite your gingerbread man to live during the holidays. This book could easily be a new holiday tradition for my family, I am definitely going to buy a hard copy. It was fun, an easy read an adventure. The only drawback I have is that the font on the beginning of each sentence of the page was odd and it was hard to read at times. The odd font efinitely dampened the flow of the book.

What an adorable and clever Christmas book! A modern take on a Christmas story. This is a fun read for both parents and kids. Would make a lovely Christmas gift! The pictures are well done and interesting to look at. Good for ages 0 - 10.

I loved reading the gorgeous Christmas related book 💕

My nieces and nephews were in love with the cute gingerbread man.

I know for sure my sister has now her hands full with baking 😅

The graphics are cute and the text is very easy to read with kids.

Definitely an recommendation
