A pair of brothers find and lose things, giving them the opportunity to talk about how these findings and losses make them feel.
It's an ok story, good for emergent readers transitioning to chapter books, but not especially exciting. I found it rather bland overall.

This is a great early reader book with the cadence of the Dick and Jane series--lots of repetition throughout, as well as predictable and cute storylines about losing a blankie, and wanting a dog. There are four "chapters" or segments of the story to break up the book as students learn reading stamina, and text is spaced nicely on the page (enough space for following along with a finger as they read!)
