Mary Labatt is an editor and writer. She is the author of the Dog Detective Sam mystery series, the Sam and Friends graphic mystery novels, the Puppy Sam level one early readers and a novel called A Puppy is for Loving. With all these dog books you can guess what Mary does on her Clear Creek, Ontario farm. She breeds and raises Rough Collies and Welsh Springer Spaniels. In the picture you can see Mary with two of her collie mothers, Annabel and Chloe.
PreSchool-Grade 2–Sam is excited and curious when her owners take her to the seaside. She runs into trouble, however, when she ruins a sandcastle, is bitten by a crab, rolls over a dead fish, etc. Children will relate to the pup's unintentional naughtiness. In the second title, Sam becomes excited when a new family moves in next door. But when the children invite her over, she is disappointed by the game of house they want to play with her as the baby, and she shows them that she prefers such activities as chewing toys. The lively paintings in both books are expressive of the puppy's varied emotions. With their short sentences and easy vocabulary, these titles provide sound beginning-reading practice. Nonreaders will enjoy listening to them.–Lynda Ritterman, Atco Elementary School, Waterford, NJ
