Number One Sam

(2) K-3 Racecar driver Sam the dog "was number one"--until he's beaten by Maggie the elephant. Pizzoli's use of (digitally created) color lets the young reader know exactly how Sam is feeling at any given time. His talent with color, easy-to-read words, and humor is something to behold. The crocodile from The Watermelon Seed makes a cameo appearance.
