'''Sam's Bumper Jumper''' is a 1985 picture book starring the cast of ''WesternAnimation/FiremanSam''.

Bella Lasagne attempts to knit a jumper for Sam. It ends up way too big, but later, still comes in handy.

!!Tropes:
* AmusingInjuries: Sam getting his nose scratched up by a bothersome bird is PlayedForLaughs.:
* EarlyInstallmentCharacterDesignDifference:
** Bella's cat Rosa is a black and white cat, not unlike [[WesternAnimation/PostmanPat Jess]]. When ''Fireman Sam'' was adapted into an animated program in 1987, she was changed to an orange tabby.
** Sam is drawn with brown hair. The TV series (particularly after 2008) would establish him as a redhead.
* ExplainExplainOhCrap: When Sam drops the fire extinguisher from the ladder, all three remaining firemen calmly comment on the situation before they suddenly realize they're going to get hit and run away.
* FunetikAksent: Bella's Italian accent is represented by adding "-a" to several words in her dialogue.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: Station Officer Steele mistakes Sam's jumper for an elephant rug, which makes Bella cry.
* InSeriesNickname: It's implied that "Elvis" is not Fireman Cridlington's real first name, as it's presented in quotation marks.
* ShoutOut: Upon seeing the massively oversized jumper, Elvis asks Bella is she used Franchise/KingKong as a pattern.
