Lighthearted, simple illustration of existential angst. LOL
This lighthearted, amusingly illustrated story of existential angst made me smile. Sammy comes through his dark night of the soul and finds joy...or does he?

Too short. But i did laugh and the artwork was good enough that on the first page I looked at the landscape and thought, “I’ve been there!”

Awesome
I love this book in all aspects! How it was written, that it made me laugh, the whole thing! It was short but still loved it!

This short book is proof that even the youngest little thinkers can enter the sometimes mind-bending thoughts of philosophy and come out smiling from ear to ear.
Sammy is a giraffe. Or, at least, he thinks he is. It's hard to be sure, but then, can anyone ever be sure?
This is only one book in a series, which the author refers to as Animalosophy (that alone made me smile). Sammy tackles the difficulties of existentialism. Does he exist? Or does he only think that he exists? The author does a fantastic job of bring this thought process across in simple text and colorful illustrations.
Sammy is quirky, full of energy and a giraffe to love. Kids will want to grab his neck and hug him as they follow his problem from page to page-one that's laid out very understandable and clear. . .and humorous too. The predicament brings giggles and makes readers think and think some more. And the end result brings smiles and warm feelings too.
In other words, this is a must grab and read for little, philosophical friends.

A short, cute book that reminds you to be happy no matter what you are (or what you think you are).
