Carla's Sandwich
|
Available in English and Spanish
Carla's Sandwich is a charming story that delivers a message about the joys of being different.
However, it can also be used as a springboard for discussing and inspiring your child's own creative sandwich "masterpieces."
That's why this dietitian gives this childrens book an A+!
Carla sure brings some "weird and gross" sandwiches for lunch. Her classmates ridicule and isolate her as a result:
- Olive, Pickles, and Green Bean Sandwich
- Banana Cottage Cheese Delight
- Chopped Liver, Potato Chips and Cucumber Combo
- Lettuce, Tomato, Raisin, Bean Sprout, Pretzel, and Mayonnaise Sandwich
I grew up taking peanut butter and pickle sandwiches for lunch, so maybe that's the underlying reason I love this book so much. :)
After Reading Carla's Sandwich
Create your own fun sandwich combinations:
- Include a fruit AND a vegetable in a sandwich combination.
- See how many different colors (of fruits and veggies) you can squeeze between 2 pieces of bread.
- Make up funny names for your new sandwich creations.
- Email me the "recipes" for your "masterpieces" and I'll post them here.
