Sammy in the Rumblin' Rainforest: An Adventure through Costa Rica (Sammy the Sailor™)

Set sail for a brand-new adventure with Sammy the Sailor™—the warm, curious explorer loved by families, teachers, and young readers everywhere.

In Sammy in the Rumblin’ Rainforest, Sammy reunites with his very first captain, the kind and cheerful Captain Ciaran, for a journey into the heart of Costa Rica. Their goal is simple: follow Pedro the Parrot—who is convinced that his cousin Paolo and their friend Pamela make the best fruit and the best hot chocolate in all of Central America.

From the bright coastline of Puntarenas to the misty greens of the rainforest, children travel alongside Sammy as he discovers new sights, new friends, and the excitement of exploring somewhere completely different. Along the way, Pedro provides plenty of laughs with his dramatic raincoat, bold personality, and colourful opinions.

This beautifully illustrated picture book invites readers to feel as if they are right there beside Sammy—tasting tropical fruit, listening to rainforest sounds, and meeting friendly characters who welcome them into the adventure. With gentle themes of friendship, curiosity, and courage, the story encourages children to ask questions, explore the world, and embrace new experiences.

Sammy in the Rumblin’ Rainforest is perfect for bedtime reading, classroom story time, and young explorers who enjoy learning about nature, travel, and faraway places. Fans of Sammy and the Secret Shortcut will recognise the same warmth and wonder, while new readers can jump in and fall in love with Sammy for the very first time.

Join Sammy, Captain Ciaran, and Pedro on an unforgettable journey through the Costa Rican rainforest—because every great adventure begins with a curious heart and a little imagination.
