Join Books Inc. Berkeley for storytime with special guest author and illustrator Elisa Kleven reading from her latest picture book, The Horribly Hungry Gingerbread Boy: A San Francisco Story. When Shirley bakes herself a gingerbread treat to bring to school, the last thing she expects is for him to leap out of her lunchbox and begin gobbling everything in sight. A wild chase ensues-on foot and by cable car-through iconic San Francisco neighborhoods including the Mission, Chinatown, North Beach, and Fisherman's Wharf. Will Shirley be able to catch the gingerbread boy before he eats up the whole city? Friendship is at the heart of this retelling of the classic folktale. A recipe for (non-magical) gingerbread treats is included. (Ages 3+)
