But they can also show us what we can’t\nsee, what we can only imagine, or how to build something. In Joyce\nHesselberth’s Mapping Sam, Sam the cat puts her family to bed,\nand then—when all is quiet—heads out to explore her neighborhood.\nAs Sam follows her\ncustomary path, wandering farther and farther away from home, readers encounter\ndifferent kinds of maps illuminating different points of view and the various\nspots Sam visits. Finally, when Sam reaches her favorite place and confirms\nthat all is well, she heads back home, climbs onto a cozy bed, and falls\nasleep.\n\n\n\nAn\nideal read-aloud for classrooms and libraries, Mapping Sam features\na page of background information, as well as various maps and map terms\nthroughout. Perfect for fans of Lynne Rae Perkins’s Frank and Lucky\nGet Schooled and Peter H.
