Beautifully illustrated book with a fun story line that also teaches a great lesson.In this day and age, children are often overwhelmed by peer pressure.Sammie teaches children (and adults) that often what we think we may want- isn't the best choice.I won't spoil the story ending for you but I will say as I read the story (and watched my granddaughter read it later) there is a certain point in the story where you suck in your breath a bit. At this point, it all becomes clear to you (and to Sammie) why things are the way they are - even if he (and you) didn't see it before.It also becomes clear that sometimes the things we think need changing - really are perfect the way they are.I bought this book for my granddaughter and loved. loved. loved the colors and how much time was obviously put into this story. Sammie captures your heart and I hope to see him in other adventures in the near future.I know we'll be reading this story over and over.
