Illustrated by
Marion Arbona.
At first, Sam's new pet, Temper, comes in handy; it certainly helps him get what he wants. But Temper--a dark scribbly creature with a big red mouth--soon runs amok, and Sam is in trouble until he figures out how to take control. The mixed-media art for this gently didactic but still amusing tale features eye-catching patterns and compositions.
