A very cute story about two friends - Worm, who is VERY organized, and Seal, who is...not. :-) One day Worm loses something and for the first time, Seal is able to help him, and then in return, Worm is once again able to help Seal!

Lovely illustrations make this even more delightful while reading, and there is a fun game at the end that will have everyone diving back into the book again and again. The lessons of friendship and helping others is gently taught here, yet in an easily recognized and will encourage conversation with each other and their grown-ups.

Well done.

Thank you to NetGalley, Jule Wellerdiek, David Henry Wilson - Translator, and NorthSouth Books INC for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

What an adorable book!! I loved that while it was lighthearted and fun for younger kiddos it had a deeper meaning in not letting your anger get the best of you and make you miss other important things. The illustrations were perfect—such a cute, simple read that I would love to share with my 3 year old son once it is published!

Simply adorable. Worm usually helps others find their lost items, so when Worm's cap goes missing his friend Seal is there to return the favor!

This book will likely be a huge hit with the preschool and early elementary crowd. The illustrations are super cute and colorful with lots of pastels and a watercolor-y vibe. Worm and Seal are both endearingly drawn, as are the other animals who make an appearance in Worm's lost and found office.

The language is fairly simple. Those at the younger end of the target audience will likely need assistance reading the text, but “desperate” and “cupboards” is about as difficult as things get.

There are a couple of interactive pieces to the story. At one point Worm and Seal decide to stand on their heads and look for his cap “from the other way up” and the text turns upside down with them, forcing the reader to flip the book in order to read the words. There are also lost items hidden in the illustrations that young children will almost certainly enjoy searching for.

This story teaches patience – Worm is understandably upset about losing his cap, but he might just make a happy discovery once he stops panicking and settles down to a nice meal of pancakes!

My overall rating: 4.25 stars, rounded down. Kids in the targeted age range, especially those with an interest in animals, will likely want to read Worm's Lost & Found again and again. It's a super fun little tale!

Many thanks to NetGalley and NorthSouth Books for providing me with an advance copy of this book to review. Its expected publication date is October 8, 2024.

Thank you so much to NorthSouth Books and Netgalley for the ebook to read and review.

Worm owns a lost and found shop, helping all his animal friends find what they are missing, but then he loses his cap and doesn’t know how to find it.

This was such an interactive book, it was so full of things to search for, to look at and I really loved that. Children would be so engrossed into the search and find aspect of this story.

The story itself was sweet, worm was really kind and helpful, his shop though messy was organised how he liked it, he could help anyone in the blink of an eye. But when he loses his own hat he struggles to know what to do, with the help of seal he tries to find it but his emotions take over for a while.

I really enjoyed how he came to the realisation of where he’s lost it and then was ready to start his day again. This was a really sweet and adorable book, with really nice illustrations to look at and full of interactivity.

I received an arc of Worm’s Lost &Found from NetGalley. I throughly enjoyed this lighthearted, creative read. Worm has a lost and found shop and helps his friends find their lost items. The depth of his friendship is shown by how readily his friends are willing to help him when the need arrives.

This book was a delight to read and I highly recommend!

Worm runs a lost and found shop, but then he loses something of his own and doesn't know how to find it! He calls in his friend to help!

There's a theme of friendship and helping others throughout the story. Short and sweet with some silliness that kids will love!

I love the seek and find bonuses is this book for some extra fun!

I received an arc of this title from NetGalley for an honest review. Worm runs a well-known lost and found shop that is the best in the land. But what happens when a Worm loses something? Will his friend be able to help him find what he lost?

Worm loves helping friends find their lost items, but what happens when Worm loses his most prized possession himself.

Worm’s Lost and Found shop opens weekly from sunup to sundown. Worms meticulous sorting and filling system makes it easy to find lost items when owners come looking for them.

One day, worm finds his prized possession is missing just as he is preparing to open shop. He decides to ask his friend Seal for assistance. Seal provides 3 a step plan to eventually recovering Worms missing item.

I enjoyed the cute pictures that tell the story of a worm and his lost and found shop. Its a nice story to teach kids that eventually lost items can be found, if they give it a little time.

I found it very hard to rate children's books so everything is a 5 star read for me!!
I really loved this book, the illustrations are so beautiful and captivating that I found myself smiling through every page I read.
The story itself is very beautiful and inspiring <3

Brilliantly illustrated and written story. I was smiling all the way through, the rhymes were so subtle which I loved the most, they keep you hooked and going. I liked the message behind the story; we get frustrated when we lose things and just like worm, we might throw a tantrum, therefore, a friend can help us calm down by doing another activity and in time, we will find the item we lost and be happy.

Oh and the last page is genius, kids will spend a good time looking for every item!

The concept is fresh and original, like the friendship between the seal and the worm. It's fun and heartwarming. Cute illustrations, although the font was very basic and could've used some colorful and quirky touches.

Soothing illustrations. Showcases a variety of emotions concisely. Simple message about accepting the need for help and dealing with something lost. Easy-to-foresee plot. Generic characters. Worm deals with worry in a realistic and childish way. Themes could be expanded on. Overall, an average read.

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

What happens when the owner of the best lost and found shop in town loses their hat. Well you’ll just need to read this book to find out.

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

é un manuale davvero molto carino, con delle illustrazioni accattivanti. Lo utilizzerò nella mia pratica professionale.

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.
