Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Reviewed with Mary Labatt's Sam Goes to School.
PreS. A white, fluffy puppy is the star of these two entries in the Kids Can Read series. In Lost, Sam takes a ride with his owners, Joan and Bob, but decides there's more fun going on outside the car and escapes. He enjoys nosing around, but then he realizes Joan and Bob are lost. There's some slight adventure before his owners find him--or vice versa. In school, Sam once again takes a powder, this time heading onto a school bus, which takes him to class. Although the plots of these books are nothing special, the volumes do engender a friendly feeling. Sam looks more like a stuffed animal than a real dog, but the softly colored paintings work nicely in conjunction with the words and will keep kids turning pages. Ilene Cooper

A really cute book...,
By ThisThatNEverything "thisthatneverything" (Columbus, Ohio United States) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE)
This review is from: Sam Gets Lost (Kids Can Read) (Paperback)
This book is really cute. It's a great book for beginning readers. It's a bit wordier than the very simple beginning reader books so the younger ones will need some help. The story itself is adorable. Sam is a puppy & he she goes on a car ride with her owners. When they come to a stop light Sam decides that the car is not going fast enough & jumps out of the car. Sam has a fun time exploring the city & causing all kinds of havoc. Soon he realizes that he can't find his owners car & decides that they are lost & sets out to find them. The pictures are really cute & the story is fun for kids. I'd highly recommend this book.

We've been reading about Sam for three years now and both of our boys (6 and 9) still love it.
