"This rapid-fire reboot of a traditional favorite will be  a requested read-aloud for high-energy listeners...this sequel doesn't disappoint..." —Kirkus

"The indefatigable star of The Gingerbread Man Loose in the School (rev. 9/11) here joins his class on a field trip to the fire station. While the kids are meeting the firefighters and testing out their gear, the Gingerbread Man is busy evading Spot the Dalmatian. After a chase through the station, the ambulatory cookie leaps onto a departing fire truck, off to battle a blaze: 'I'll ride to the rescue, as fast as I can. / I want to help, too! I'm the Gingerbread Man!' And help he does..." —The Horn Book 

"...The cookie's self-guided tour allows readers to see the ins and outs of a fire station, including the firefighters' bunks, their shiny sliding pole, and their kitchen, with "five-alarm chili" bubbling away on the stove. One useful page shows a firefighter in uniform with all the gear labeled--boots, gloves, goggles, oxygen tank, etc. Lowery's cartoony illustrations... help set the story's pace and establish a not-scary tone: it's clear that no cookies were burnt in the making of this book."   —The Horn Book

"In this follow-up to The Gingerbread Man Loose in School (Putnam, 2011), the same cute cookie, now a classroom staple, is sneaked into a backpack so that he can go on the class field trip to the fire station. Stylistically reminiscent of Mo Willems's work, Lowery's images vary between panels and full-page art... written in rhyming couplets, will make a fantastic read-aloud." —School Library Journal
