  | Full Text Reviews: School Library Journal - 11/01/2015 PreS-Gr 2—A woolly red scarf floats through the wintry air in a forest filled with animals. The scarf is sent on an eventful escapade as it enters and escapes the custody of a series of wily woodland creatures. A raucous and humorous tale of sharing and working together, the story is comprised of only two words used again and again—lost and found—with some onomatopoeia accompanying the pictures. This simplicity is perfect for allowing the art to tell the story. The palette is mostly made up of shades of red, green, and light blue, with black outline on stark white paper, and the depth and boldness of the watercolors intensify in the last few pages. While the theme of camaraderie and respect for others is saved for the end, the journey to get there is packed with action and humor that will keep kids turning the pages. VERDICT The attention to detail and the expressions displayed on the animals' faces are superb. A fun addition to any picture book collection.—Amy Shepherd, St. Anne's Episcopal School, Middleton, DE - Copyright 2015 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.
