This is really not a children's book but more for middle schoolers or late elementary school children. This book goes through a myriad of sandwiches and covers the history of the sandwich. It is an interesting book that could be explored just prior to kids going to lunch to increase their appetite. It is a book that has many interesting recipes and takes on the traditional sandwich.

Sandwiches!: More Than You've Ever Wanted to Know about Making and Eating America's Favorite Food is a sandwich making cookbook for middle grade kids.

The book contains recipes for over 50 different sandwiches including wraps, subs, and bagels. It covers what is a sandwich, tools used, and use of equipment including the oven and panini press. The book even explains the differences in knives.

One of my favorite elements in the book is the use of history, trivia, and facts pertaining to each sandwich. There's so much to learn here and in an entertaining way. The instructions for each sandwich are easy to follow and include side options for each. I especially appreciated the substitutions that are included for different dressings, cheeses, and condiments. Substitutions are even given for people who have allergies.

This is a great book for kids to gain confidence in making meals for themselves. All the recipes are easy with only a few possibly needing adult supervision. This would be a nice addition to a cookbook collection. I'm certainly adding it!

So far, our favorite is the chicken and waffles sandwich. Yummy!
