Is The Giant Jam Sandwich a hit in your house?
I loved it growing up and so do my kids but I can't really explain why!

What is it that makes the book so appealing to kids? Is it the crazy storyline, the problem-solving that takes place, the illustrations...
Hailing from MN, it tickled my fancy that one might make a huge sandwich that could trap all the mosquitos!

I just picked this up from the library yesterday and saw this thread. 
I am looking forward to reading the book and doing some parts of the unit study.
