What would the Taschenbier family be without the Sams? This snout-nosed creature has become as dear to Mr. Taschenbier as his own child. But one day, the Sams is gone. To his own dismay, after 15 years, 15 days, and 15 minutes, it must return to the Sams world – otherwise, the person it lives with will become a Sams themselves. The first signs are already appearing in Mr. Taschenbier. Will he really turn into a Sams? And must the real Sams leave its dad? That Mr. Taschenbier, at his old age, even steals a bus and rides a camel is something the Sams wouldn't have believed possible. The classic by Paul Maar – newly illustrated by Nina Dulleck.
