Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Once they feast their eyes on the exterior of this mouth-watering volume, youngsters will be impatient to dig in. The front and back covers are designed--quite convincingly--to resemble pieces of bread, and the spine reveals the neatly layered ingredients of the special snack Sam prepares for his sister. The most delectable morsels, however, are found within--each spread depicts one of the foods the obliging brother adds to his culinary creation. But the realistic renditions of sliced tomato, cucumber, cheese, pastrami, onion and hard-boiled egg fold out to disclose some of Sam's secret--and less appetizing--additions, including a fly, worm, slug, caterpillar and some ants. Youngsters will be too engrossed in Sam's creative sandwich-making to notice that Pelham's singsong rhyme occasionally falters. This cleverly designed book accomplishes what it sets out to do: it serves up a tasty little snack rather than a full-course meal. Ages 4-9.

From Kirkus Reviews
Encased in thick boards to simulate slices of bread, a comic novelty: deftly phrased verse describes a sandwich Sam stacks for his innocent sister, each layer (lettuce, cheese, etc.) hiding a creature within a clever foldout (``...to really make her squirm/Sam dropped in a wriggly...[worm]''), the whole truly resembling a fat booby trap of a sandwich. Guaranteed to compel attention. (Picture book. 4-9) -- Copyright ©1991, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved.

Gross and Funny.........,
This review is from: Sam's Sandwich (Board book)
Sam's makes his sister a special sandwich by slipping in little surprises such as snails and caterpillars. The book is shaped like a sandwich and each page is an ingredient (lettuce, tomatoes, eggs....) which open with flaps to show the surprise. My first graders think this book is hilarious and want me to read it practically on a daily basis.

This review is from: Sam's Sandwich (Board book)
Great book . I bought it for five year old twins..a boy and a girl. Both loved it. There is a rhyming pattern which helps with predicting what comes next. This is an excellent pre- reading skill. Very good for little boys who are not that interested in sitting for stories. They love the bugs.

A funny book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Sam's Sandwich (Board book)
I remember this book from when I was little and liked the details of how Sam tricked his sister with the sandwich. I once wrote in all the answers to the words(giving away all the answers) that before I gave the book away I had to cross the written-in answers out.That story was long, but I used to have it all memorized.
