It's puppy love! This latest continuation of the award-winning
Charlie & Mouse early chapter book series will delight newly
independent readers. Lost and Found is full of relatable trials (a
lost blanket), surprises (a lost dog), and delights (a new puppy!) and
overflows with the series' signature humor and heart.
Charlie and Mouse are finding surprises in all sorts of unexpected
places. After Mouse's beloved blanket is lost and then found, they find
a lost dog (and eventually her owner), seek out some ice cream, and
discover a new puppy friend to take home at last.
BROTHERS ARE THE BEST: The Charlie & Mouse books show a sibling
friendship and a family dynamic that is kind as well as playful.
AN ANIMAL LOVER'S DELIGHT: Featuring not one but two dogs--one very big
and one very small--this fifth book in the Charlie & Mouse series
makes a wonderful gift for any canine-loving kid! From going on walks to
snuggling up together at the end of a long day, the furry friends in
these sweet and silly stories are sure to enchant young animal
enthusiasts.
IDEAL FOR NEWLY INDEPENDENT READERS: The interconnected but distinct
short stories in this book offer an accessible transition for readers
who are just moving into longer books, especially for reluctant readers.
HUMOR WITH HEART: The Charlie & Mouse books bring a fresh, humorous,
and heartwarming approach to central themes to which readers of all ages
can relate: imagination, creativity, play, and family are fondly
celebrated in each of these stories.
WE NEED DIVERSE BOOKS: Charlie and Mouse are mixed-race Japanese
characters growing up in Hawaii, a setting inspired by the childhood of
up-and-coming Asian-American artist Emily Hughes. Every book of this
early chapter book series offers an opportunity for young children of
many different backgrounds to see themselves reflected in the stories
they love.
