As a 29 year veteran of 2nd grade, I know how important it is to read aloud to children. All About Sam is, hands down, my class's favorite book of the year. The giggling starts on the first page, and by chapter 2 they are begging me every day to read "just one more chapter." As we finish the book, it is my delight to tell them that Lois Lowry has written a follow-up, Attaboy Sam. I would highly recommend this book as a read aloud to the age 7 and up crowd!

If you like comedy you will love All About Sam. This is a book where you start reading and can't stop. Sam is born into a family of three with a mom, dad and his sister Anastasia. He does not have a room so his crib is in the pantry until his family moves into a house. This book tells the reader about Sam's birth to age four. It is written from Sam's point of view. Once Sam flushed his sister's gold fish down the toilet and stuffs peas under the rug. Can Sam and his family live through the terrible 2's? Find out in All about Sam.

My son is a reluctant reader and his teacher began the school year by reading this book aloud. He LOVED it and has his own copy now. Lois Lowery has done it again!

Wow! I would give this book 10 stars. ********** This book isabout a boy's life upt age six. Sam is the name of the boy. Sam doesall these funny things. Sam has an older sister and a mom and dad. A couple of things Sam did was put his mom's makeup into the toilet. He also put his sister's fish into the toilet. He cut his hair , and he had a pet worm. That is all I have to say. if you read the book you will find the rest of the funny things Sam does.

Have you ever wondered what your little brother or sister was thinking? Well, if you have, then All About Sam is a good book for you.
The book is about a family told from a baby's point of view. The baby's name is Sam. He has one big sister named Anastasia. His father's name is Myron and his mom's name is Katherine.
This book is very humorous. Sam is curious about everything. He takes a smoking pipe and lighter off his dad's desk and brings it to school for Show and Tell. He also goes into his mom and dad's bathroom and gives himself a punk haircut. He goes to his older sister's room and takes her pet fish Frank and flushes him down the toilet. He expects it to rain pet fish because his mom once told him that whatever is flushed down the toilet will come down as rain a couple of days later.
I understand this book because I have two younger sisters and a younger brother . If you like to laugh, you'll enjoy what this funny baby does, and I suggest you read All About Sam.

All About Sam by Lois Lowry will make you read until you finish. You won't want to stop. This great story is about a boy named Sam, and he talks us through his amusing life starting from the second he was born until the age of about four. He has an older sister named Anastasha and a mom and a dad. I hope you choose to read All About Sam as your next reading book.

"Who am I?" the newborn wonders as loving faces peer around him. He's Sam! Anastasia Krupnik's mischeivious and hilarious little brother. Follow Sam from birth and life in the "pan tree" through toddlerhood and nursery school (where Sam can't wait to give someone a shot!). Unravel the mysteries of life with precocious little Sam. Adults and primary students (ages 7-12) will roll in the aisles with this wonderful book by Lois Lowry.

This book is a good book that I will read again. Sam is nice and he has a sister that is crazy, she does this thing with a code that I think is weird and so did Sam in the book. You should be sure to read this book!

This book has really captured the meaning of kids, in a halarious way! I simply couldn't put it down, I always wanted to know what Sam had up his sleeve. But he never did anything really bad, so you'll enjoy it. And the way he mis understands things...well... it will make you laugh out loud!! You must read this book it's brilliant!!

Oh my gosh, I really can't believe how great this book was?Sam is the cutest character! Boy, I sure got a laugh out of thisgreat book. This outstanding book is mostly about a boy named Sam. It all starts out when Sam was born. We find out about how he lived in the "Pan-tree." We learn about his pet worm and his tough voyage moving out of his apartment to a new house. You will find Sam a very interesting character. Learn about him, his worm, and his sister, Anastasia! I can write forever about this excellent book! Read more to find out. And don't forget other books about Sam and his friends!
