This book includes “more than you ever wanted to know about making and eating America’s favorite food". It includes recipes, easy-to-follow directions, facts, trivia, and challenges, and allergy friendly substitutions along with local specialties.
    

After the informative text, the second-most important feature of this book is its visual appeal to readers.  The layout of the various pages is diverse and well-balanced between text and very descriptive, colorful illustrations. Cooking skill levels are grouped together so readers can successfully make a sandwich.  There are more than 50 recipes, five skill levels, and tons of tips and ideas.
The flow and balance of the text and visuals present a very stimulating book for both young and reluctant readers.

Warning! I do not recommend reading this book if you are considering a weight-reduction diet, even though it does provide dietary restrictions.  After gaining a few pounds, my favorite sandwich was the Chicken, Apple,and Brie combination.
