The Giant Jam Sandwich is one of my all time favorite children's books. I remember reading it as a child and I recently read it to a kindergarten class for Read Across America Day. It is a very fun story that adults and children will both enjoy.
The story and pictures are by John Vernon Land with verses by Janet Burroway.
The story is set one summer in the town of Itching Down when four million wasps fly into town. The wasps are a terrible nuisance and the townspeople get together to find a way to get rid of the pests. The winning idea is to make a Giant Jam Sandwich. (You can learn about the details in the book, but it includes a giant oven, horses and a flying tractor!)
The pictures are very classic in this book and the rhyming pattern makes the words fun to read.
To me, this children's book is an absolute classic that everyone should ready. It is on my own personal top ten list!
