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.

Thank you to the publisher and to NetGalley for the eARC! Worm is so cute- a fun spring read. The adventure of him losing something for the first time and how his friends helped him! The added picture hunt at the end of the book is a great way to get young readers to really look into the details of pictures throughout a book too!

So sweet, so detailed, so nicely pictured.
I enjoyed the story of worm immensely and I am sure my daughter will also love it once I read it to her.

This was a funny book. My toddler had a blast watching these two friends sort through the Lost & Found.

The illustrations were very detailed and my toddler could name every emotion Worm went through. I would definitely keep a copy of this book for my mini. We enjoyed it.

The best part, was the end of the book that turns this entire experience into an interactive one.

I volunteered to read a copy of this ARC through NetGalley.

I grabbed this one the moment I saw the cover. My kiddo loves worms and can't stand to be without his hat so it sounded perfect, and it was! This book was absolutely adorable and funny. Worm runs a lost and found shop, the best around. One day he loses his hat and needs his friend Seal to help him find it. While they look, Worm cycles through lots of feelings and the illustrations for it are wonderful. Kiddo particularly loved pages 11-12. We had to read and reread them in every voice we could manage.

At the end of the story are two pages of objects hidden within the rest of the book for kids to find, which he is happily doing now. I will absolutely be looking form more from this author/illustrator and buying a physical copy for our shelves when it releases.

Thank you NorthSouth Books and NetGalley for an advanced digital copy of " Worm's Lost & Found" by Jule Wellerdiek. I loved finding at the end a page of items hidden in the book for kids to find! That was such a fun addition that I know many kids would love the challenge of doing! I think this was a great book to help students figure out what they can do if something they love is misplaced/missing too as well as knowing it's okay if you don't find it. This book would be a great addition to a classroom or home library for kids!

This adorable book is a must-have for any little one who's ever misplaced a favorite toy! Worm runs the coolest Lost and Found ever, reuniting lost treasures with their rightful owners. The story is heartwarming, and the illustrations? They're like, totally dig-in-the-dirt amazing! Your kiddos will be giggling and wishing they had their own Lost and Found after reading this gem.

Thank you to NetGalley who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This was cute, but it felt really abrupt plot wise. I realize that it's a picture book but it felt like it went from problem to no problem so fast. I liked the illustrations.

Worm runs the best lost & found business in town. But what happens when *he* loses something? Will anyone be able to help him?

There's so much to love about this adorable picture book. As a mom of 4 boys, there seems to be no end to the amount of lost items in our home! This book reminds children that it may take time to find a lost item, but good friends can help you look and help take your mind off of your sadness about a lost item.

Children and parents alike will love this clever picture book. The illustrations are stunning and the story is silly and cute. Kids will love the end of the book, where they are given 30 lost items to locate within the pages of the book.

"Worm runs a lost and found office. Seal is his best customer. But when Worm loses his hat... they switch roles. Can Seal's approach of looking everywhere and nowhere at all help Worm find it?"

Woahhh, gengs ...Jujur aku mau review buku ini, buku ini seriusan cerita & gambarnya bagus & seru! , bahkan untuk dibacakan nyaring buku ini benar-benar asyik, seru engaging gitu dengan yang dibacakan kenapa ? Karena si kalimat bahkan ilustrasinya kaya seolah ngajak pembaca/ anak untuk ikut cari bahkan ikut gerak !πŸ˜†.

Kayanya ini bakal jadi salah satu children picture book yang must have sih, seseru itu soalnya bahkan gambarnya mengemaskan, Oiya, Altair pun kepingin buku fisiknya jika sudah terbit!.

Aaawww this was the best! I can’t stop smiling :). A short, fun and sweet story with very detailed, warm and soft illustrations.

Worm is such a helpful character. He runs a lost and found office and we see lots of animals visiting and being helped by him.

But one day he loses something himself, for the first time ever! He asks a friend for help and it’s so funny how he tried to be, but wasn’t very helpful or was he?

This shows us that sometimes we find a solution for our troubles when we let go of them for a while. And that friends are the best in their own unique ways :).
