Simple but memorable - By: Humpty Dumpty, 19 May 2008 
A simple but memorable talein rhyming couplets whose text & ills go perfectly together. The visual aspect has elements of Gulliver's Travels & Heath Robinsonin it.
Inventive & funny!
A Children's Classic - By: Mrs. L. Martin, 27 Aug 2007 I was first read this book as a child & I think it must have been when it was first publishedin the early 70's. An absolute favourite, I can recite the whole story by heart. I still have my original copy although it is looking a little worse for wear but very much loved. I am now passing on my enthusiasm to my own children who are 6 & 8 & a new copy was purchased when they were born. They also are nearly word perfect & I hope will be reciting it to the third generationin the future. A must for all!
The Giant Jam Sandwich - By: Lynda Osborne, 01 Jul 2003 This is my favourite young childrens book of all time. My two sons are now 16 & 19 & if I ask them to name the book they remember me reading to them when they were young, it is this one.
It is well thought out & well written. As the story rhymes all the way through it is great to read & great for young ones to listen to.
Basically a village is swarmed with wasps & the villagers decide to catch them by making a giant jam sandwich. It makes young imaginations run wild.
fantastic - By: , 18 Nov 2001 This book is great, I first read this book when I was 9 & 20 years later I can still recite the majority of it!
A great book! - By: , 15 Sep 2001 This story appeals to all children with it's fantastical giant bread baking, flying machines & the attempt to stop the wasps. The rhyme propels the tale onwards & makes it even more memorable. In our household the only other book which we can all recite better is the classic 'Each Peach Pear Plum'! It was one of my top childhood favourites (alongside 'The Tiger that came to Tea'), & one of the few which i think my Mum equally enjoyed reading. I hope that this new edition brings it to many more children's bookshelves.
