3 Sam Sam and Marzipan Sam Sam and Marzipan is an imaginative adventure story as seen through the eyes of a four year old boy. Sam and his faithful off white and ginger cat - Marzipan, live in a magical world where Marzipan not only talks but understands Sam s every thought and is his most loyal friend. Other objects come to life and assume characters as imaginative and creative as only a four year old boy can be. In a world where imagination has no boundaries Sam Sam, creates his own world with - his silly old cat. Sam Sam is Sam s imaginative name - an extension of Sam, and his name when he assumes his world of imagination, which as a sole child, he seeks out regularly.

4

5 As Marzipan sits on the table, Sam Sam shouts to his cubby friends. Sam s dad built the cubby with table, kitchen chairs and a wooden stove.

6

7 Come on Tock! Come on Dish! Come on Spoon! Gather around and listen! says Sam Sam, As Tock waves his arms and joins Dish and Spoon to hear Sam Sam tell them about today s adventure..

8

9 We re heading to sea! A big chocolate sea, with mountains made of marshmallow and ALL sorts of things! Sam Sam says excitedly.

10

11 Everyone is excited as Sam Sam leans out the cubby window and, like the Captain of a ship, stares out over a large chocolate sea.

12

13 The ship is smashing against big waves. Hold on! Sam Sam shouts as he puts his hand out and tastes the chocolate sea. Mmmmm yummy! he exclaims in delight. What do you think Dish?

14

15 Dish tastes the chocolate sea. Pretty good, don t you think? asks Sam Sam. As Tock steers the ship they pass giant vanilla icebergs that they can taste.

16

17 They all eat vanilla ice-cream until it is dripping down their chins. Sam Sam knows that his mother would tell him off, but as Captain of the ship he can do whatever he likes!

18

19 Sam Sam and Marzipan stare out at the chocolate sea, the vanilla icebergs, and the Marshmallow Mountains that are on top of the small island ahead.

20

21 Go to the island Tock! Sam Sam yells. The island is made of coconut and the trees are large ice cream cones filled with lollies!

22

23 Sam Sam and friends were so full from eating they could hardly move! But it was getting late and time to head home.

24

25 When they got home Sam s mother yells out that it is time for dinner. Marzipan moves back onto the table in the cubby house which is filled with bags of lollies. Sam looks on, Silly old cat! he says.
