Sam Is Never Scared

32 pp. | Clarion | September, 2006 | Trade ISBN 0-618-73278-0 $12.00
(4) PS Illustrated by Philippe Goossens. Dog Sam convinces his animal friends that he's fearless. When his buddy Max witnesses him being spooked by a spider, Sam fears that Max will tell their pals. Sam's confessional narration will draw readers in, and the cloudy-looking oils convey the story's emotions, but its too-simple resolution--Sam's dad reassures him that "Everyone is scared of something"--is a letdown.
