The Loudness of Sam

32 pp. | Harcourt | March, 1999 | Trade ISBN 0-15-202087-X $$13.00
(4) K-3 Since babyhood, young Sam has always expressed his emotions, both happy and sad, with a lot of volume. His parents nurture his uninhibitedness, but when he visits his aunt in the city he finds that not everyone is so open about their feelings. The book's exaggerated Simpsons-style cartoon illustrations are certainly lively, but often seem too edgy for the text's heartfelt tone.
Reviewer: Christine M. Heppermann
