CorebooksAn inventive lift the flap book. Sam is a boy with a devilish smile who builds up a sandwich for his greedy sister which is chockful of tasty ingredients. The thing is - he contrives to slip in some other tasty morsels too...
The bright pictures make the food look appetising but wait till you see what’s lurking underneath. The text is set out in four line stanzas which are in rhyming couplets. However, the last word in some of the verses is omitted so you have to lift the flap to see what that word should be... Great for prediction and lots of fun.
