sweet toddler book: sam who never forgets, written by eve rice (greenwillow books, 1977)

April 29, 2015 ashley donati

Hi there!  I am so excited to tell you about this book.  This is one of those true little gems that you happen to find in a seemingly random way but that you couldn't imagine not having around.  In this case, I was poking around the kids' section of my local library looking for something new to read with my toddler.  I asked my librarian (much love to librarians) for some suggestions, and she picked this beauty off the shelf for me.  This short and sweet story is about a zookeeper named Sam who brings food to each of his animals at lunchtime.  A little mischief happens along the way, and all of the animals learn that Sam will always take care of them.  This book offers some great toddler mainstays:  zoo animals, playful pictures that are dotted with colorful balloons, and pages with simple, easy-to-follow, but entertaining sentences.
