Ode to the Peanut Butter Sandwich

Erick doesn’t know what lay in store for him the day he decides to bring a plain peanut butter sandwich to school with him for lunch. The next day Tanner brings a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for lunch. The day after that Sage brings her style of peanut butter sandwich for lunch. Each day kids try to one-up one another in their peanut butter sandwich concoctions—and the experiments get sillier and sillier! When Haley brings her version of the peanut butter sandwich, the teacher has had enough. Ode to the Peanut Butter Sandwich is a fun, lyrical story that can be sung to the melody of “Old MacDonald Had a Farm.” What do you like with your peanut butter?
