What is Happy Birthday, Sam (Picture Puffins) about?
It's Sam's birthday, and he's excited to be a year older! However, he soon discovers that he's still too short to reach the light switch, the bathroom taps, or the front door knob. Just when he's feeling down, a special present from Grandpa arrives—a chair that's just the right size. With his new chair, Sam can now do all the things he couldn't before, making his birthday truly special.
