When Sammy Slow-Poke spends his days sleeping beneath the lettuces in the vegetable patch, he thinks he is perfectly happy doing absolutely nothing at all. While the rest of the farmyard bustles with music, laughter, friendship, and adventure, sleepy Sammy snores through every exciting moment. But one magical evening, Sammy accidentally wakes after dark and discovers a secret world he has been missing all along.
Beneath the glowing moonlight, tiny fireflies dance through the vegetable garden like floating stars, led by a cheerful little firefly named Flame. With the help of new friends like Violet the musical cow, Dusty the Donkey, Lenny the Lizard, Colin the Chameleon, and many more lovable farmyard animals, Sammy begins to realize that life is filled with wonderful moments waiting to be discovered. Filled with glowing fireflies, magical moonlit gardens, cheerful countryside scenes, and heart warming friendships, Sammy Slow-Poke Comes to His Senses is a charming story about appreciating the world around you, trying new things, and learning that life is far too wonderful to sleep through.
