The Ninjabread Man is a playful retelling of the classic Gingerbread Man story, reimagined with a fast-paced ninja twist. When a freshly baked cookie springs to life and escapes the kitchen, he uses stealth, speed, and clever tricks to outrun a series of unexpected pursuers. The story blends familiar fairy-tale structure with humorous action, visual gags, and exaggerated movement, creating an energetic picture book that invites repeated reading. With rhythmic language and dynamic illustrations, the book supports early literacy while offering a lighthearted adventure rooted in humor, chase, and imagination.
