Illustrated by
Julia Patton.
Peanut butter, jelly, and bread equal a great sandwich, but where do the components originate? The text takes readers back from markets to delivery trucks to bakeries and factories to farms to seeds, always returning to the same banal description of a grocery trip. Ample white space lets the retro illustrations shine; a final page shows the story's five kids ebulliently chowing down.
