Sammy and the Robots

(4) PS Illustrated by Adrian Reynolds. A young boy's imaginative play helps him cope with his grandmother's unexpected stay in the hospital. Watercolors enhanced by crosshatched detail show Sammy making robot toys for Gran that seem to come to life on the last page. Although the narrative lacks smooth transitions, the fine line between fantasy and realism makes this an intriguing story.
