I liked the concept of this book, as a sort of obscure sequel to the usual Gingerbread man that has by now driven me mad in the classroom.
I wanted to enjoy the book but I feel it is still a work in progress. While I enjoyed the rhyming couplets and the rhythm of the language, I feel some of the pages were made more as an obligation to that rhythm rather than being a natural progression of the language. I would perhaps consider removing the angry Gingerbread man, calling a child a bore for not making a gingerbread house, going forward... A children's book generally tends to inspires morale or meaning for a child, teaches lessons, or at least makes a child laugh, and in this I feel this book errored.
The images were cute and Christmas's in nature, but some looked a little haphazard and thrown together... For example, the gingerbread house has seemingly been cut and pasted.
All in all, I enjoyed the concept but I think the execution lacks a little finesse and could be improved in further edits.

Perfect little Christmas book, with short snappy rhyming verses, a lovely story and bright colourful illustrations.

This book is beautiful!! Such a lovely title story for kids of all ages, even adults! The illustrations are fantastic and beautifully drawn. This is a prefect Christmas book!

What a beautifully illustrated book this was! Lovely brightly coloured pictures to catch your child's attention & a magical story to boot. Ideal for your little ones Christmas stocking 🎅🏻

This is a wonderful children's book, which is perfect for this time of the year. My daughter loved this book, which we used as a bedtime story for her. She was very excited about it and she loved the story, characters and the beautiful illustrations, which were magical.

Many thanks to the author, publisher and netgalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

The Gingerbread House Laura Gia West is a very cute story to read to children probably would only take five minutes to read. My children used to like to read many stories quick. The pictures in the book are wonderful.
