The verse is delightful, the illustrations a sweet treat. The Giant Jam Sandwich is a great read for parents and children and that is why is works so well. I enjoy reading it aloud. Read Alouds should be enjoyable for parents and children, especially if it is book that is going to read aloud again and again. I have not tired of this book yet and I’m reading it to my eighth child.
