LOST AND FOUND is an adorable story with beautiful illustrations that would be appropriate and enjoyable for children of all ages! When young Justin loses the special hat his grandmother made him *right* before her visit, he must face the dreaded Lost and Found department down the scary hallway at school. The worst part is the scary old man who guards the Lost and Found -- he's been there ever since Justin's mother went to that school and *every* kid on earth is terrified of him!
The ending was one that most definitely made me smile, which was a pleasant surprise. And I was really impressed by the attention to detail in each and every illustration throughout the story. They were definitely more intricate than what I'd normally expect to find in a book for young children.
Two thumbs up! Parents will love this one too, I know! :)

The scary janitor's office! That always seems to be a common theme. I am not sure I was ever scared of someone as a kid (although I could look that up, I suppose.) I thought this book dealt with the subject well.

I really enjoyed this book. I think it will be a good addition to the book collection being created for my now-baby nieces. [b:Lost and Found|14432990|Lost and Found|Bill Harley|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1348504648s/14432990.jpg|20075083] is about a child who loses a hat his grandmother made for him. In his search for it - he needs to find it as his gran is visiting this coming weekend - he must visit his school's Lost and Found, which is staffed by the very scary - to the kids, at least - Mr. Rumkowsky. I liked how [a:Bill Harley|105651|Bill Harley|http://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1309984619p2/105651.jpg] described these scenes, and [a:Adam Gustavson|823206|Adam Gustavson|http://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1306958275p2/823206.jpg]'s illustrations were most excellent, too. :)
