“Grown ups will be pleased to hear that Sammy does eventually stop the chain of events he’s inadvertently set in motion, and apologises properly – but this is far from a po-faced morality tale. It has humour, a relatable child (who’s also an inventor) and cracking illustrations with lots of detail to spot.” BookTrust
This book is hilarious.
A clever, funny picture book about one of life’s most important skills: the art of saying sorry.
Sammy is in trouble. He’s stuck in his room (on his mum’s birthday!) writing sorry letters for things he shouldn’t have done. But what exactly has Sammy done?
Told entirely through Sammy’s letters, this inventive and laugh-out-loud story gradually reveals the chaos behind his well-meaning plan. As one apology letter leads to another, the story of Sammy’s robot-related adventure unfolds . . .
But the big question is will Sammy make it out of his room in time to celebrate his mum’s birthday? And what’s going on with all the robots?
