About this deal

Move over, Monsanto. There’s a new bug killer in town, and it comes in the form of a massive jam sandwich. That’s the premise of The Giant Jam Sandwich ( public library) , a hilarious children’s book that chronicles an epic battle between man and insect with a larger-than-life solution. This one-of-a-kind story by author and illustrator John Vernon Lord captures the imagination of children and adults alike, and the quirky illustrations are quite unlike anything in modern children’s literature. Helicopters lift the other slice into the sky and wait for the wasps to land on the jam. When the wasps finally fly in, the helicopters drop the slice and trap the wasps in the sandwich. The story ends with nearly all of the wasps squished in the giant jam sandwich. To access all of the lessons in this The Giant Jam Sandwich unit study, grab an easy-to-print file at the end of this post. The Giant Jam Sandwich Lapbook Printables Then Bap the Baker leaped to his feet and cried, “What do wasps like best to eat? Strawberry jam! Now wait a minute! If we made a giant sandwich we could trap them in it!” Hi Emma! You designed the real-life giant jam sandwich in the exhibition, tell us how you came up with the idea.

Wednesday: Read The Giant Jam Sandwich. Notice it includes pairs of rhyming words that are at the end of each line. Read the book again encouraging children to join-in and read the rhyming words. Identify if children like sandwiches and the fillings they like most/ least. Encourage children to use descriptive language, e.g. I love ham sandwiches cut into small triangles made by my granny.You were a student of John Vernon Lord’s when he led the School of Design at Brighton University. What was that like? They called a meeting in the village hall, and Mayor Muddlenut asked them all, “What can we do?” And they said, “Good question!” But nobody had a good suggestion.

This The Giant Jam Sandwich unit study also includes these printables for your lapbook or notebook: This book is an entertaining read with detailed illustrations, extensive vocabulary and rhyming couplets, useful for upper KS1 and lower KS2 children, who will appreciate the colourful images, rhythmic pattern and creative narrative. OMG! How have I not known about this book? This is a story about giant food and it beat 'Cloudy with a chance of Meatballs' by 4 years. This book enchanted me and has been soaked in Cupids arrow juice for I fell in love with this story. It is so cute, so whimsical, and surreal.The jam sandwich bit was a notion that when I was young, my dad, if we ever had a picnic, always used to put some strawberry jam away from the picnic to attract wasps from where we were settled. A lot of ideas are anecdotes from your own life; you can exploit them and bring them into fantasy. John Vernon Lord (Photograph: ONCA) You say that toys are one of your greatest influences as a maker – can you tell us about the role of play in your projects?

Cut out three circles at a time using a 15cm baking tin or plate as a guide. Repeat with the remaning dough. Cut a heart shape from the centre of three of the biscuits.The other slice came down — kersplat! — on top of the wasps, and that was that. There were only three that got away, and where they are now I cannot say. Illustration does not yearn for the high cultural plane. It is a modest activity and it is not esoteric, nor is it a mere dumbing-down of art; it has its own distinct purpose. Fine art is allowed to be obscure and bewildering, but illustration is not; its purpose is to enlighten. It is art, but it’s an accessible art. In a nutshell, illustration is the art of the people.
