Customer Reviews

My son's first grade class loved this book!

I first picked up SAM because the little boy on the cover reminded me so much of my son in one of his "nobody will play with me" -sad-funks. The story is simple and moving and makes you think about how easily little ones can get their feelings hurt. I read it to my son's first grade class, and when I finished I heard a chorus of "Read it again, read it again!" I'd give it 5 stars if only it were a bit longer! But well worth the 5 bucks. Illustrations are very life-like and evocative
