Finally, when his father turns him away, Sam begins to cry, and only then does his family realize that Sam needs his own special job.

4.0 out of 5 stars
My son's first grade class loved this book!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Sam (Paperstar) (Mass Market Paperback)
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
