Jeremiah In The Woods by Janet and Allen Ahlberg

Once upon a time there were three bears, seven dwarfs, five gorillas, a frog prince, some sleeping beauties, a wolf, a dinosaur, a mad hatter, a steamboat, four firemen on a fire engine, a considerable number of giant beanstalks - and a little boy named Jeremiah Obadiah Jackenory Jones.

This story that I have loved for many years begins with the theft of Jeremiah's, Grandma's jam tarts!

A perfect gift for a child with a jar of strawberry jam.
