“And, with his new friends, came a new idea. They would open up their own fancy restaurant – one with the food was so good, that this time it wasn‘t Samson wearing a disguise.”

This would be a great book to read to students to not judge a book by its cover. It also encourages students to overcome their problems. Would make a great writing prompt.

Week 3: Graphia. Such a cute story about accepting everyone and how people are different. The illustrations are very cool throughout. Would definitely read again. Published Feb. 7, 2017

A quote I liked from the book was “Just because you're a Piranha doesn't mean you can't have good taste.“ I liked this quote because it shows someone finally saw Samson true colors.

The book Samson by Tadgh Bentley was published in 2017 and was written about a Pirahana named Samson. Samson has trouble being allowed to be at fancy restraunts because everyone thinks he will be angry. Finally he is accepted and his differences are celebrated. Great book!

This book would good read for a classroom. Throughout the book Samson the piranha is trying to go into a fancy dinner. But has to wear a disguise because he is a piranha. The images throughout the book are good for visuals as well as the word bubbles from the characters.

3 🌟 Samson just wants to eat and try fancy food. He is tired of the same thing day after day. Most people find Piranha scary so when other dinners find out what he is they go screaming away. This story is nice, but nothing special. And the illustrations while well done are a bit dark and green and just make the entire thing unappealing.
