Overall, a very good copy+ "Sam lived with his family in a nice house. He had a big yard and lots of friends. But he wanted donuts, not just a few but hundreds and thousands and millions-more donuts than his mother and father could ever buy him." This is Stamaty's first book of fiction by himself (he illustrated one book for Frank Asch in 1970) and after doing several books, he moved on to political cartoons and a contributor to Slate Magazine. The illustrations in this book are tightly packed and there are visual gags, things to find (similar and possibly the inspiration for some of the Eye-Spy type books) and an endless amount of just plain stuff. .
