Horn Book Review

In a lackluster Hawaiian interpretation of 'The Gingerbread Man,' a 'musubi' man made of rice runs away from a little old woman, reaches the ocean, and ends up not being eaten, but riding the waves with a surfer dude. The 'musubi' man speaks in authentic dialect, but the story is awkwardly written, and the garish illustrations are amateurishly rendered. From HORN BOOK 1996, (c) Copyright 2010.
