Love this book! Sam's mischievous brother helps her make a sandwich, but slips all sorts of creepy crawlies in along the way. The book is shaped like a sandwich and the pages are shaped like all sorts of sandwich fillers (cheese, cucumbers, tomatoes, etc.) with flaps to lift. The rhyming text makes it fun for kids to guess what is hidden under the flaps on each page. My kids love the "gross" aspect of this book.
I remember this book from third grade. I did not see it again until last year in one of my methods classes. This story is so great. Sneaky little brother, pull out pages, and a mess of a sandwich. I would love to use this book to inspire children to write their own gross sandwich story!
I loved this book when I was little! I love the surprises under the flaps. And what's cool is that when you read it to a pre-k group, they can predict what's under the flap based on the rhymes. Good stuff!
It is a shame that my friend Harry Willock isn't mentioned here as without his superb artwork this book would be certainly lacking as I am sure the most excellent David Pelham would agree.
My sister got this for my son James when he was about 3 - and it was hands down the kids favorite book from there on - so imaginative!
Love all the Sam books! All the books are shaped as the title...pizza, sandwich, present.
My Mum used to read me it :$
hehe,
still love it <3

Makes me glad not to have had an older brother!
My children absolutely loved this book, I must have read it to at least one of them every night over 10 years.........all 5 of them and me could recite each page word for word!!! Fantastic book should be on every childs book shelf!
One of Finley's favourites when I was nannying.
Favorite childrens book!!!
