The Giant Jam Sandwich, by John Vernon Lord and Janet Burroway. What a treat! When we stumbled upon this book, vivid memories came flooding back. This book was at MY pediatricans office! My Mom would read this book to me over and over. I had forgotten all about it. The copyright is 1972, which would be about right! And I was at the Dr's A LOT.......allergy shots!

Anyway, the town of Itching Down has the most annoying visitors......4 million wasps! What's a village to do? Why......build a giant jam sandwich of course!! And with the great rhyming couplets they accomplish making a Giant loaf of bread, sewing a huge tablecloth, spreading a ton of butter and jam (this is obviously English.....since my Mum is English-born, I can attest to the fact that a butter and jam sandwich is delish!) and capturing all but three wasps. A nice story with fun pictures. And worth many, many memories for me!

I can actually visualize that office and the stack of books they had waiting for kids!! Thanks Dr. Yates!!!

What fun to enjoy this with MY children!
