Carla’s Sandwich is a great book that children will love!  

With its imaginative text by Debbie Herman, and its vivid and bright illustrations by Sheila Bailey, no child will be disappointed as they turn each page to discover which weird and wonderful concoctions Carla will be eating that day for her school lunch.

This book contains a story of being different – and you feel a little sorry for Carla as the other children isolate her because she brings in such unusual combinations of sandwiches to eat, like sardine and mustard with sunflower seeds. But one day, another boy forgets his lunch, and when his hunger gets the better of him, he reluctantly turns to Carla to beg a spare from her. 

He does, of course, find the offering delicious, and the other children change their minds about constitutes an ‘acceptable’ sandwich.

Fantastic pictures and colour, with an inspiring storyline for children aged four to eight years old; this book was a delight to read and is thoroughly recommended.
