Samson wasn’t like the other piranhas. While other piranhas stayed close to home he wanted to explore the world. And while they
stuck to the same old routine, swimming and chomping and scaring, Samson liked to try new things. Most of all, Samson dreamed
of eating fine foods at fancy restaurants. So when not one but THREE new restaurants come to his corner of the sea, Samson can’t wait to try them all. There’s only one problem: with their big teeth and scary smiles, piranhas aren’t really welcome anywhere, let
alone in fancy restaurants. Can Samson make his dream come true—and still be himself?
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 水虎鱼萨姆森不像其他的食人鱼。
当其他食人鱼则呆在家附近，
而他想探索这个世界。
当他们坚持同样的老习惯，游泳、咀嚼和吓唬人时，
萨姆森喜欢尝试新事物
最重要的是，萨姆森梦想着在高档餐厅里吃美食。所以，当不是一家而是三家新餐馆来到他的海边时，萨姆森不及待地想要都品尝一遍。只有一个问题：食人鱼有着大牙齿和可怕的微笑，在任何地方都不受欢迎，更不用说在高档餐厅了。参孙能让他的梦想成真，同时还能做他自己吗? (Sandy)

About the Author/作者介绍： 塔德格·本特利(Tadgh Bentley)是一位来自英国的绘本作家和插画家，现和妻儿爱犬定居俄亥俄州亚琛。在英国和约旦从事了六年启蒙小学教育工作之后，他有一些时间追逐自己一个长期以来的梦想，制作自己所绘制的画书画插图。几个月后，经历了几次失败，妻子在吃饭时的打嗝，萌生了绘本“会打嗝的小企鹅”。Balzer + Bray于2015年秋季相继推出了‘小企鹅系列故事’。‘水虎鱼萨姆森’、‘小企鹅和棒棒糖’紧随其后，另一只小企鹅于2018年10月发行。
塔德格是一个自学成才的艺术家，在长期研磨PS的操作方法后，如今他的作品主要是以数字化为主。所有的图纸在用数字方式染色之前都要用钢笔和墨水绘制草图。虽然这有时会让他觉得自己像是个骗子，但他享受着这种技术提供的巨大的自由和创造机会。
