Synopsis
For fans of The Nightmare Before Christmas, this rhyming Christmas picture book from #1 New York Times–bestselling author Dan Gemeinhart follows an abominable gingerbread cookie wreaking havoc in the North Pole. Is this beastly cookie trying to create a holiday disaster . . . or does it simply long for a family to share the season with?
Includes a recipe at the end to bake your own Gingerbread Yeti!
On the night before Christmas at the North Pole, the elves are all starving, and Santa is famished. But after a tuft of white fur blows into Ella the Elf’s gingerbread batter, out of the oven crashes a not-so-tasty (and somewhat-hairy) surprise! The Gingerbread Yeti is towering, frightening . . . and on the loose. But as Ella, the elves, and the reindeer are chased by the abominable doughman, the young baker begins to wonder what the Yeti truly wants for Christmas. After all, there’s no sweeter gift than celebrating the holidays with family.
