The Disgusting Sandwich cover

A hungry badger races to claim a dropped sandwich, but a series of comical events leads to an unexpected and funny conclusion in The Disgusting Sandwich.

In The Disgusting Sandwich, a boy's careless moment leads to an unexpected adventure in a sandpit. When he drops his sandwich, it quickly becomes the center of attention for a variety of hungry animals. A very eager badger spots the sandwich first, but he soon finds himself in a race against time as other creatures, including a squirrel and a fox, try to claim the prize for themselves. The story unfolds with a series of comical mishaps as the sandwich is squashed, slithered over, and ultimately transformed by the antics of its pursuers.

As the badger chases after the sandwich, readers will delight in the madcap journey that ensues. Each animal brings its own quirky personality to the tale, adding layers of humor and excitement. The relentless pursuit of the sandwich raises questions about what truly makes something desirable. Will the badger finally get his paws on the sandwich, or will he discover that it’s not all it’s cracked up to be?

Children will be captivated by the unexpected twist at the end of The Disgusting Sandwich, where the badger makes a surprising choice that leaves everyone laughing. With its engaging repetition and delightful illustrations by Hannah Shaw, this picture book offers a fun and memorable reading experience that encourages young readers to embrace the silliness of the story.
