Jam Spots
by JoAn Weissman


When Mammy sees that jam spots on the wall are attracting flies, she isn’t worried. She puts some honey on the doorstep to draw the flies away. But then Pappy comes…Oh no! Oh no! Now what are Mammy and Pappy going to do? Help can come in different ways. Luckily there is a whole cast of interesting people in this town. Each one has advice to offer on how to get out of this sticky situation. Whether it milk from the milkman or yeast from the baker, no one stays around long enough to see the results. Will Mammy and Pappy get out of a sticky mess before Lucie comes home for lunch? Will Pappy get free? Jam Spots is for every reader who has ever tried to make a sticky situation better—only to make it worse! It takes place in a very familiar setting: home where a child is surrounded by many different and familiar faces. If your child never misses the garbage pick-up man or always has a wave for the mailman, this book is for them.


JoAn Weissman was a teacher for many years. She loves to write, and she would often write stories for her students. At home she was once a dedicated bread maker. When her children were small, she started telling them the story that would one day become Jam Spots which she finished years later for her grandchildren. JoAn still writes and she loves to draw and paint as well.
