"Readers can do anything."

Beautifully drawn edge-to-edge happy, happy illustrations with words running across the pictures, just the way I like it. And not just words - couplets!

Baby Sam loves to read . Recognizable books like Pat the Bunny, Cat in the Hat, Hungry Caterpillar, Chicka Chicka Boom Boom. Through the years he finds numerous ways that reading comes in handy. He reads his way through life until the day he saves the town from a plundering giant by introducing him to books and returning him to his mommy giantess. And what will Sam do when he grows up? "Readers can go anyplace!"
