Mapping Sam

(3) K-3 House cat Sam's nightly exploration of her neighborhood is accompanied by omniscient narration that introduces a variety of mapping concepts (an aerial map of Sam's route, a diagram of Sam's body, a constellation chart, a blueprint for a nearby building, etc.). Decorous mixed-media art accommodates the book's diagrams beautifully, offering an unexpectedly harmonious blend of science and whimsy ("Can you map a dream?").
