Funny AND Peanut Free!
There are several twists that make this more interesting. Instead of purchasing bread, we are going to disguise ourselves as ducks with the strategic use of traffic cones and flippers in order to scam bread from people feeding the ducks. To open the jelly, we shall entice an elephant onto a playground merry-go-round while we hold the lid. A nice, clean dog can apply the jelly by wagging his tail, and a jousting tournament is an easy way to assemble the sandwich. Cutting the sandwich is the trickiest bit, since training hamsters to ride unicycles across the bread is necessary. Of course, these are not the only ways to make a jelly sandwich, and Frankie offers several different options for some of the steps.
The back cover of this book indicates that Frankie might be up to more adventures in the future, building pillow forts, wrapping presents, cleaning her room, and building a snowman. Her “manuals” will be right at home on a bookshelf with Robinson and Hindley’s How to Wash a Wooly Mammoth, Wallace and Ellerton’s How to Catch a Dinosaur, Schertle and Lavallee’s All You Need for a Snowman, and one of my favorite goofy instruction books from my children’s childhood, Price’s How to Make an Apple Pie and See the World.
