This book is about a Racoon named Sam who believes he's the only one in his family who can't do something special. One sister play's the piano, another is a terrific baseball player, and Sam's brother is a computer whiz. Not only that, but his father is a wonderful cook, and his mother carves lovely wooden birds. Even his dog can do a clever trick. How Sam finally--and unexpectedly--discovers his very own special talent makes an appealing story sure to delight and inspite young children :)
