This is the story of a little boy who climbs, swings, digs, flaps, and stamps. They call him monkey, parrot, rabbit, elephant, wriggly-jiggly-worm. But he's none of these things. He's Samuel David. But, please, just call him Sam. In this very child-centred book, Korky Paul has used a more gentle (but still at times hilarious) style to illustrate the antics of a little boy and his friend. Korky Paul was shortlisted for the 1997 Kate Greenaway medal. This book is intended for age: 4+
