By Lois Lowry
Book #1 in the Sam Krupnik series
A young boy navigates life's mysteries with humor and unexpected insight.
Sam, a spirited young boy, embarks on a journey from hospital to nursery school, unraveling life's mysteries with humor and candor. From misunderstood first words to goldfish mishaps, Sam's adventures reveal a world seen through innocent eyes. Can he make sense of the chaos around him, or will his unique perspective remain misunderstood? Join Sam as he faces each challenge with his own brand of naive insight.
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 like 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.
