About This Book

When four million wasps descend on the town of Itching Down, the townspeople hatch an ingenious plan: bake a giant jam sandwich to trap them all. With rollicking rhyming text and wonderfully detailed illustrations, the whole community comes together for this sticky, satisfying solution.

Why We Love This

The rhyming text is irresistible to read aloud, the illustrations are packed with funny details, and kids are completely captivated by the absurdity of a town-sized sandwich.
