Kick! Jump! Chop! The adventures of the Ninjabread Man by Heather Ayris Burnell and Bomboland (Sterling Publishing)

Hungry? Fancy something biscuity to snack on with your choice of beverage? Perhaps give this fella a miss, he might just bust your chops!

"Kick! Jump! Chop!" by Heather Ayris Burnell and the impressively named illustrative entity known as Bomboland is a fabulous and energetic new book out now from Sterling Publishing.

The ertswhile biscuit warrior is a masked ninja, who will stop at nothing to teach his enemies a lesson - and when you're as tasty as he is, it's just about all you can do to stay alive when everyone wants to take a bite out of your head!

Baked by a mystical sensei, all the ninja masters are invited to battle the Ninjabread Man but one wily fox thinks he has an idea to defeat (and scoff) this pint-sized ninja warrior.

It's a fabulous take on the classic "Gingerbread Man" tale with plenty of punch, and some truly stunning papercut artwork from Bomboland.

Chock full of hilarious puns baked lovingly by Heather, it's a potent combination of classic action and fairytale fun given a hint of mystical eastern promise. We absolutely ate it up!

"Kick! Jump! Chop!" by Heather Ayris Burnell and Bomboland is out now, published by Sterling Publishing (kindly supplied for review).
