In this paneled picture book, join a small girl on her hilarious and surprising search for her lost cat--and watch as she helps her neighbors, who have also lost their pets, along the way!

Where, oh where is Kitty? She's not upstairs... not in her litter box... not at her food bowl. Hmm...There's only one thing to do: find this lost cat.

As the cat's owner roams town in hopes of finding her pet, she discovers she's not the only one missing their beloved animal. There's also a lost dog...a lost bird...even a lost giraffe!

Join the search party in this almost wordless story that celebrates helping our neighbors and gently reminds us that what is lost can always be found.

Lost is a wordless story that follows a girl who has lost her cat. When on her search she is helping her neighbors who seem to have also lost their pets.

What I Liked: I was a bit worried when I saw this was a wordless book because I am not good without a story to follow but I was quite pleased when I finished reading. I loved all the images throughout this book and how one panel transitions into the next. I appreciate how there is one story to follow but this book can be read numerous times with different dialogue to tell the story. I also loved how the lost animals came to help each other just as the neighbors helped each other as well.

Final Verdict: Lost is a great wordless book for children of all ages to get to use their imagination to tell the story. Adults will enjoy hearing a different story each time depending on who is reading the book and love listening as children come up with their own words to this book.
