Gingerbread Man Super Hero, Super Read!

This book is fun. It's colorful. It's playful. Who wouldn't love a Ginger Bread Super Hero. A very fun story with rich colorful Illustrations. We have several other books by Joe Kulka and I would recommend this one as well. My son and I saw Mr. Kulka at a book signing recently in our area and he was not only very kind to us and did a drawing in our book, but he was friendly to all that were there. I know he wants to sell his books but I think he is genuinely nice and loves telling these stories to kids.
