PB&J Hooray!: Your Sandwich's Amazing Journey from Farm to Table by Janet Nolan, Julia Patton
misspippireads's review against another edition
3.0
A popular sandwich choice is pulled apart to see how it is created. The final product is a sandwich made in the kitchen, but all the components take a trip from far away. Nolan created a cumulative story from a "simple" sandwich. I loved the layers adding up together. The text is playful. The illustrations are not my favorite, but it's still a great book to share with elementary students.

i think preschoolers will like this but it's kind of repetitive/boring for adults.

From seeds to the grocery store, this book follows the making of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. It shows that a lot goes into the making of a "not-so-simple" sandwich.Kids weren't big fans of this book. They felt it was too repetitive. The illustrations were colorful and cute.

Pretty decent for a read aloud non-fiction. Kids might even be able to join in on the repeated bits. Purple storytime or food themed.

Children's illustrated narrative nonfiction book. This book answers the question of where the ingredients for the omnipresent peanut butter and jelly sandwich come from. It traces the ingredients back to the store, to the delivery driver, to the factory/bakery, to the farm, and to the seeds. But throughout the journey, there is a refrain that is repeated that kind of jolts the reader out of the narrative. I'm not quite sure why the refrain is where it is, and why the grocery store shelves are mentioned so often. A good concept, which does address the modern factory reality of our food system, but still left much to be desired.
