(3) K-3 Illustrated by Marc Brown. Because he's a born reader, young Sam accomplishes extraordinary feats: he reads the dictionary at age three, speeds to victory in a bicycle race, and tames an unruly baby giant. Couched in this jaunty rhyming story, Sierra's message about the benefits of reading goes down easily. Brown's large, energetic gouache illustrations suit the tall-tale nature of Sam's exploits.
