Description
Young Samantha does not believe her parents when they tell her to stop hitting her brother or she will be sorry, but she soon learns just how right they are when his tears flood their entire town.
Quick Summary
If your kid loves silly stories with a touch of the ridiculous, this one's a winner. The premise is wonderfully over-the-top Samantha just won't stop pestering her brother, and when Mom and Dad warn her she'll be sorry, they have no idea how literally true that turns out to be. The flood-of-tears twist is both funny and a little wild, which makes it memorable long after kids close the cover. It's short enough for early readers, but the humor and big emotions mean even you might get a chuckle reading it aloud together. Perfect for kids who like their lessons wrapped in silly chaos, and if they enjoyed other stories about sibling mischief, this fits right in.
