Bookroo's summary

Sam's sister craves a special sandwich, and he's eager to deliver. As each layer unfolds, unexpected surprises await beneath the lettuce, cheese, and salami. What hidden horrors has Sam concocted? Dive into this rhyming, flap-filled adventure to uncover the deliciously dreadful secrets of Sam's sandwich. Will his sister enjoy the meal, or will the surprises be too much to swallow?

From the publisher

Just how gross can Sam make that sandwich he’s giving to his sister? Lift the flaps to find out! A classic kid-pleaser, back by popular demand. Sam’s sister wants a very special sandwich, so he does his best to oblige. Lettuce, cheese, tomato, salami, and so much more. Just unfold each layer to see what surprise he has slipped underneath–if you haven’t already figured it out from the hints in the rhyming text! Served up as a sandwich-shaped book with a gruesome guessing game on every spread, Sam’s Sandwich is a delectable gift for little terrors.
