This is a fun, cute story about a lost and found with things to look for throughout the book. I enjoyed the illustrations and the friendship between the worm and the seal.

Thank you NetGalley and NorthSouth Books for the advanced copy. All opinions are my own.

A very cute nook!! I loved it!! The illustrations were so cute and funny. The story itself would be the biggest hit with the kids. At the end of the book is a little search and find game. The kids will lie this game!!

I received a free copy of the book and is voluntarily writing a review

I think this book will be a big hit with kids. While as an adult I found this book a little slow, the art was cute and I think the story will resonate with younger kids. It has repetition which is excellent for young readers.

4 stars

This book is a fun and enjoyable read for your little one. It’ll definitely keep them interested and builds suspense.

Worm’s Lost & Found is a cute picture book with a fun story. I loved the soft colors and adorable characters. They all made reading the book enjoyable and entertaining.

There really isn’t a life lesson to be learned from the book. Except for maybe that some lost items will turn up eventually when we least expect them.

And since I’m a sucker for seek and find activities in any book, Worm’s Lost & Found has a seek and find game that will challenge any preschooler to find objects within the pages of the book. Five fun stars.

I received a DRC from NorthSouth Books through NetGalley. This review is completely my own and reflects my honest thoughts and opinions.

These illustrations were very cute, and the story was sweet and simple. I loved how the book turns all the way upside down, and that there is a little search and find at the end too! I wish the font was a bit bigger.

This! Was! Adorable! So silly, perfect for the age group, and very creative. Great illustrations as well. Will be telling educator colleagues to consider this title.

Schools have lost and founds. Churches have lost and founds. Worm runs a lost and found office for the animals. In fact, Worm is an expert on sorting and filing all the things that get lost. But where can Worm turn when he can’t find his hat? He calls up his friend Seal who happens to be expert at losing things.

This is an adorable book. The characters and illustrations are cute. There are even places in the book where the reader can look for lost things.

I recommend this book for it’s cute illustrations, relatable story, and for reading with someone you love.

I received an advanced copy via Netgalley and this is my honest and unbiased review.

A fun children's book with charming illustrations and lovely messages about friendship and finding things that have been lost. Children will enjoy the characters of Worm and Seal and following along as Worm looks for his missing cap. Plus, pancakes! And a bonus search and find game that will have readers pouring over the pages long after the story has been read.

Thank you for the advanced copy of Worm's Lost & Found.

First of all, I absolutely love the illustrations in this book. I could not stop looking at the pictures! This is such a cute story about a worm that runs his own lost and found shop and then suddenly one day loses his hat. He employs help from his best friend seal, and he ends up finding his hat. I think this would be a great addition to a classroom or school library!

I really enjoyed the colorful illustrations in this children's book. I felt like the story kind of jumped around several potential talking points for young readers: friendship, being helpful, resolving frustration. As a read aloud, the book provides the opportunity for conversation about what is happening and how to handle big feelings.
Thank you, NetGalley and Northsouth books, for the arc and opportunity to provide an honest review.

I received an electronic ARC from NorthSouth Books Inc. through NetGalley.
Worm has everything in his lost and found shop - well, almost. After helping the other animals find what they were seeking, he loses his hat. He can't open his shop without it and asks a friend for help. Seal shows him the steps he uses to find a lost item. Readers see Worm get frustrated and angry but working through his emotions. He discovers Seal's steps work when he locates his hat in a surprising place. The store opens and everything returns to normal. The illustrations are full of details showing how crammed this store is. Readers are offered the opportunity to go back and locate certain items at the end of the book. I appreciate Wellerdiek sharing how Worm worked through his emotions - the positive and negative ways. This allows for dialogue with young readers.

It was cute but seemed to lack something. It was just sort of random but a fun story I think kids would enjoy. There was some humor and the illustrations were also fun.

A short and sweet book about not getting too fixated on the small things, and leaning on friends for help. Worm and Seal were both kind and funny characters, but the light illustrations might not make this a favorite for group storytime.

Very charming, even if the formatting is a little uneven at times (although of course the "upside-down" dialogue is intended to provide some degree of fun clunkiness). I appreciate its message about problem-solving - stepping back and allowing everyone to calm down.

I love this book
Mainly because the illustrations are nice. But mannnn, it is only the icing on the cake! The storyline itself is a whole delicious scoop!

I found the storyline simple but funny. Instilled with good potrayal of frienship between Seal and Worm. A good material to educate our young toddlers on how we can look for our lost things also❤️

Thank you netgalley for the advanced readers copy, love it!

It wasn't a story that really caught my attention, but I think children might like it, there are some good drawings for children and the moral of the story is good.
