A sweet and quirky picture book about a bat named Benny, his brilliant batch of jam and all sorts of sticky situations.

Benny has made the best jam ever and his friends love it. One problem: none of them seem to want to eat it...

When Benny the bat rolls out his jam-laden trolley loaded with the best batch he has ever made, he is disappointed by his friendsโ€™ reactions to his sweet treat. Each and every one of Bennyโ€™s friends seems to have other (sometimes ingenious) uses for Bennyโ€™s jam. But to Bennyโ€™s annoyance, none of them involve eating it!

A unique picture book jam-packed with laughs on every spread.
