My boys love this book and it's fun to read. With all the bugs in Sam's house makes you wonder when his parents are going to call an exterminator.

I saw a book shaped like a burger at the used bookstore today and had to give it a look-see. An adorable revenge tale about bastardizing a burger. What could be more hilarious?

Love the design of this book and the small but mighty pop up surprises on each page.

I'm shocked. With the terrible eating habits of our youth today, this is like pouring chocolate sauce on the bacon burger!

The "Sensational" Samburger is an evil trap set to ensnare the unwary.


SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



This innocent looking, flavorful looking hamburger is ACTUALLY A VERMIN INFESTED NIGHTMARE! Maggots, Cockroaches and Spiders on a bun!

I promptly returned it to the library in disgust.....I just hope that nobody notices the bite I took out of the book....yumm!

I love this book! It's probably my 100th time! It is a wonderful follow-up to Sam's Pizza, but of course can be read alone. The creepy crawlies revealed in the flaps are the best! My favorite is the worm!

I read this little gross out book to my camp kids every summer. It just never gets out! Great book for kids 2-6th grade although younger ones kind of enjoy it, too.
