Publisher Comments:

'It's a dark day for Itching Down. Four million wasps have just descended on the town, and the pests are relentless! What can be done? Bap the Baker has a crazy idea that just might work. . . .

Readers will love listening to the lyrical, rhyming text as they watch the industrious citizens of Itching Down knead, bake, and slather the biggest wasp trap there ever was!'

Synopsis:

Four million wasps invade Itching Down, so the villagers make a giant jam sandwich to trap them.

When I saw this on the shelf I was suddenly awash in fond childhood memories. This is one of the few books that I remember vividly from visits to my grandparents' house. How could any kid forget it? Giant sandwiches and swarms of bugs? It is both delightful and disturbing. I immediately bought a new copy for my niece.
