The Gingerbread Man takes a high-flying adventure in his next graphic novel for the earliest readers.    The Gingerbread Man and his class are in for something extra special today: a field trip to the space museum! They'll learn all about the planets and stars from a real-life astronaut and play engineer to launch hand-made stomp rockets.    But when our favorite cookie accidentally hitches a ride on one of the rockets, he'll have to gather his courage and shoot for the moon if he hopes to land among his classmates safely.    The Gingerbread Man's series of graphic novels-published in both hardcover and paperback editions-is ideal for first and second graders, full of the hilarious rhymes and action-packed escapades kids know and love from his picture books.
