description: THE AWARD-WINNING COLLABORATORS of the New York Times #1 picture book bestseller Wild About Books are back with a new story that promotes books and reading. Told in Judy Sierra's inimitable read-aloud rhyme the narrative chronicles the amazing successes of Sam--thanks to his early love of books. The story ranges from Sam's infancy when his mother reads him a picture book (then another then another then another . . . such a perfect patient mother) to school age when he cleverly uses some of his favorite books to rid his town of the rampaging baby giant Grundaloon. 'Here's my secret ' Sam decreed. 'Readers win and winners read.' Marc Brown's playful pictures joyously complement this fun-to-read upbeat story
