Sorry, Sammy
An amusing picture book written in epistolary form, this story covers an accidental robot invasion in reverse. Sammy’s intentions when building his robot were pure, which is why he resents his mother asking him to apologize to those whose help he solicited—and whose lives he impacted when he unleashed his creation on the world. Sammy cajoles, reasons, and prevaricates; elements of his inventive, creative personality (and truly sweet spirit) are revealed, though sincere apologies are delayed by his pride. The bright illustrations center the exasperated and befuddled expressions of the surrounding cast, driving home the book’s humor.
