The Story of Samson

48 pp. | Charlesbridge | July, 2008 | Trade ISBN 978-1-58089-183-7 $16.95 | Paper ISBN 978-1-58089-184-4 $7.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Alexander Farquharson. Sam is enthralled by his grandpa's tales of seal trapping, dramatic rescues, and brutal storms while aboard the Samson, a Norwegian schooner. The story Sam loves best is how Grandpa built his house from salvaged timber from the Samson wreck. Though the adventures are exciting, shifts in narration are jarring. Well-executed oil illustrations enhance this sea story about a real ship. Reading list, timeline, websites.
Reviewer: Luther B. Clegg
