Customer Reviews

hit happens!

I have worked with toddlers for YEARS and this by far wins the favorite award (according to toddlers who ask for it over and over again and carry it around all day). Anyone who spends a day with a toddler or knows the struggle they have with autonomy and sharing...will understand. So many adults are troubled by this book because it shows a child hitting another child (The part kids want to look at and hear over and over again!....It's like looking in a mirror or reading a good book and going 'wow, someone understands me!' This book was introduced to me by a play therapist. She said kids need to see the struggles they face so that they have that validation that it is okay to struggle with autonomy and go through the "it's mine" phase. Still, most parents want to sanitize childhood and are uncomfortable with Barbo Lindgren's books. I wonder if that's why it is no longer in print in this country.

love this book

all the Sam books by Barbro Lindgren are really fun to read. My 2 year old loves them. They are very simple but delightful. They are not all available new but buy one gently used. You won't regret it.

Cute pictures and easy sentences...

Very simple book but still very cute. A real life story about two toodlers who refuse to share a car. My little 1 1/2 year old girl can every day relate to this charming story and it is absolutely her favorite book.

A simple and easy , but very cute book about two playmates

This story about Sam and Lisa is very simple and every day life, but still very cute. My son loves all the Sam books and this is one of his favorites. I can also recomend Sam's cookie and Sam's wagon.

Cute and simple book but my sister loves it!

This is a story about Sam and his friend Lisa fighting about a toy. It's so cute and I have to read it over and over again to my babysister , it's great!
