At
last, Sam, Anastasia Krupnik's irrepressible little brother,
gets a chance to tell his own story. From his first days at the
hospital, through his Terrible Twos, to his first days at nursery
school, we see what Sam is really like. But things are never quite
what they seem. In the delivery room, Sam's first words, "Don't
drop me," are heard only as, "Waaaaahhhh!" And even
though he has a perfectly logical explanation for flushing his sister's
goldfish down the toilet, no one understands. From training pants
to moving day to nursery school, Sam continually tries to unravel
the mysteries of the world at large, facing each crisis and adventure
head on and responding with his own brand of humor, candor, and
naive insight.
In All About Sam, Lois Lowry has created the younger brother only
Anastasia Krupnik could have. Anastasia fans will be quick to welcome
this new voice into the series, and Sam will no doubt gain many
new fans of his own.
