What do you do when you’re having a party and the big
gingerbread cookie your mom made for dessert decides it doesn’t want to
stay? You reason with it, plead with it, sing to it, chase it, and even
make a deal with it – just like anybody else. But don’t worry, the party
is a BIG success!

Everyone thinks the little new-born is just plain
ugly. He doesn’t look like the others, he doesn’t talk like the others,
and he certainly doesn’t act like the others. He is just so different in
so many ways – and on a farm, different isn’t so good. Well, our hero
soon helps everyone learn an important lesson about fitting in, and how,
sometimes, the smallest person can be the biggest bully. This is the world premiere
of this new KMR Scripts script.
