I'm surprised no one has reviewed this book yet. I found this book on a reading list and borrowed it from the library, and it has become one of our routine nightly reads.

The story focuses on Bea, who is always forgetting things at school. Her grandmother, believing that Bea is more mindful than she seems, knits Bea a new sweater. Bea promptly loses her sweater, too. The sweater, however, is the impetus for her to search for all of the items she has lost.

What is fun about this book is that your child can search for the lost item on each page. The relationship between Bea and her grandmother, and the importance her grandmother holds in Bea's life, is evident through the story. It's rare in children's books to see such a relationship being illustrated, without being spelled out.
