Mabel and Sam at Home: One Brave Journey in Three Adventures

By Linda Urban and Hadley Hooper

“[A] highly recommended tribute to the imagination. . . . Delightful pictures and three clever and entertaining stories.” —Booklist (starred review)
 
This playful and endearing book celebrates imaginative play as Mabel and Sam move into a new house and make it their own. They sail the high seas of their new home; tour the intriguing museum of their living room; journey through outer space to the safety of their own beds; and discover how far afield—and how close to home—imagination can take them. Funny and engaging, this celebration of moving in and settling in is both heart-warming and house-warming.
 
“Young readers will be inspired to mimic Mabel and Sam’s adventures in their own homes.” —School Library Connection
 
“Brims with reassuring humor and lovely graphic nuances.” —Publishers Weekly
