Illustrated by
Ed Vere.
Fed up with his big, noisy family, Sam escapes to the woods. With solitude comes bliss, but with night comes fear, and suddenly Sam is the noisy one. This vigorously illustrated book is a pleasure despite some conspicuous attempts at cuteness (we're told that Sam, who says things like "Eeeky-beek!," is a "Bungle," although he looks like a raccoon).
