“…Whether you’re as big as a bear
or small as a shrew
there’s surely a sandwich
made just right for you…“

Mealtime At the Zoo: PB & J Café is a really cute and fun, children’s illustrated story by James Williamson. My grandson and I had lots of fun following James the monkey as he delivered lunch to all the animals at the zoo. The specialty of the day- PB & J sandwiches all made to order- served just the way the animals liked- some even with ‘special’ ingredients added to suit the individual animals.
The story is accompanied by lots of lovely, bright, colourful, interesting, and captivating illustrations — which brought the whole story to life.
It is a charming little adventure – told in a rhyming verse that adds a fun tempo, as well as an extra element of interest to the whole story.
We look forward to reading more of Mr. Williamson’s stories again, soon.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, James Williamson!

This quirky tale Mealtime at the Zoo, PB & J Café, is James’s debut book. It is just what the doctor ordered or should I say zoo animals to bring happiness to the young at heart. This delightful book is aimed for kids 3 to 8 years old.
Everybody loves PB & J sandwiches and James added in a couple of recipes that my grandsons were only too eager to help try out ending with sticky fingers.
Mealtime at the Zoo: PB&J Café is a journey that teaches valuable life lessons to children as well as expanding their imaginations. The illustrations bring the story to life as we follow along on this adventure with hidden delights on each page.
This delightful children’s story is full of fun and told in a rhyming way that makes the kids want to read along.
I look forward to reading more of books from James.
Enjoy!

James Williamson is a silly dad, with quirky ideas popping into his head all the time. He is a father of two girls and enjoys seeing the world through their eyes as they continue to grow and explore.

Inspiration for his debut novel Mealtime at the Zoo, PB & J Café, came while walking through the Fresno Chaffee Zoo’s reptile house.  As he considered the snakes behind the glass, he asked his daughter a simple silly question… 

“What would a snake put in a peanut butter and jelly sandwich?”

Slightly disgusted she responded, ‘a mouse’ and so began this books journey.

With this question in mind, adding a little rhythm and rhyme, one line evolved into to two, then three, then four, and many many more.  Eventually, a series of stanzas were compiled and a fun and exciting children’s book for kids 3 to 8 years old was born.

James’ primary goal is to inspire children to continue to be silly, creative, and curious with fun rhymes and vibrant art.
