Where Is Sammys Smile

"Where is Sammy's Smile?" is a rather old, but very good book about a little raccoon boy who seems to have lost his smile. He wakes up one morning and his family finds that it's simply not on his face. They (his father, mother, older sister and little sister) go on a hunt through the house leading all the way out into the backyard for it, but it doesn't seem to be anywhere. It's not in the laundry basket and he definitely didn't wash it off wish his washcloth, or wipe it off with his towel. Readers will by able to search along with Sammy as they flip large flaps throughout the book, revealing the contents of the various places that Sammy's family searches for his smile. And younger readers will smile their own smiles of delight as they discover just where Sammy's smile happens to be. This story has words, but for the most part, the pictures tell the tale. Each page is illustrated in full. The illustrations, by Katy Bratun, are brightly colored and rich with detail.
