Sam Is Not a Loser

(4) PS Illustrated by Philippe Goossens. In his fourth story, bad-sport and quitter Sam learns a lesson: "'How can you win if you don't even play?' [Grandma] says. I never thought of that." As in the other books about dog Sam, it's a too-easy epiphany, and this time Sam is less sympathetic. But as usual, Goossens's smoky oils painting introduce some subtlety to the proceedings.
