An absolutely charming and visually stunning picture book !
Worm has a very successful Lost and Found, all the animals go to his shop when they’re looking for something. Everything is well until Worm himself loses something… hopefully his friend Seal is here to help him !
Jule Wellerdieck writes and draws an endearing story about friendship and how you and your friends complement one another.
I loved the colours of the illustrations, it’s soft with a chalky effect. Each page is rich with details, such a treat for the eyes !

Thank you to NorthSouth Books and NetGalley for providing me with a complimentary copy of this book.

"Worm's Lost and Found" is a delightful tale about a worm who excels at finding things, until he misplaces his own cap. With the assistance of Seal, Worm embarks on a quest to retrieve his cap and return to his usual activities.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. The messages it conveys about resilience in the face of setbacks and the importance of both giving and receiving help are wonderful. The illustrations are engaging and whimsical, and the interactive aspect where children can join in to find missing objects adds to the enjoyment, reminiscent of "Animalia."

I would highly recommend this book to anyone seeking an entertaining read with interactive elements and valuable lessons about coping with lost items to share with children.

Prototype. This will be the first of many in this original story. The illustrations are warm, whimsical and particolored. Every child loves a good mystery and lost & found is both a mystery when you lose something (where could it be?!) and when you must find it (especially if in a big school stockpile). Highly recommend.

I obtained a copy from NetGalley.

This was a good idea for a book, it shows that lost and found is a very helpful place, and that losing things is completely normal, I liked the concept of this book however it wasn’t for me or my child

Worm's Lost & Found is a cute story about two friends who help one another out often. Ironically, Worm, who is typically the one helping his friend, Seal, and many others find things that are lost, loses his favorite hat. He enlists the help of his forgetful friend, Seal. Seal helps Worm get his mind off the lost hat and the hat is found. Illustration of this book is great.

A book geared for younger grade readers. Worm runs a lost and found but is upset when his hat goes missing. Worm calls his friend Seal to come and help. The story is quick and sweet with gentle illustrations. I think more could have been made of managing feelings because losing something important is something everyone can relate with. At the end of the book is a page of various objects to find causing you to explore the book again. Geared for younger grade readers. Thank you to NorthSouth Books for the temporary ARC via NetGalley and I am leaving a voluntary review.

This is a delightful book filled with charming illustrations that are sure to capture your imagination. There's so much detail packed into each drawing that you'll discover something new every time you flip through the pages. What's even cooler is how the book ties into the theme of finding lost things, because it includes a cute little puzzle where you have to hunt for hidden items scattered throughout the pages. It's like a treasure hunt, making reading even more interactive and enjoyable.

What is also nice, is that when the characters are upside down, the text and book follow suit, adding a fun twist to the reading experience.

I thought this book was so much fun. It's about a worm who runs a lost and found business and loses something of his own. Now that Worm needs his own services, he turns to his best friend for help. During Worm's journey, he learns how to manage his feelings. Sometimes it's best to stop and take a moment before getting upset. Kids can learn how to react to losing something and accept help from others in a crisis. I would suggest this to parents of young children.

Note to Publisher:
-At the end of the book, there is a cute finding objects interactive page for kids.
-I suggest moving this page before the story starts so kids can follow along as they read it.
- Another idea, try making this page viewable by QR Code or maybe a tear-out page so they can follow along easier to find everything.
-I felt like it was a hassle to keep flipping to the end to search for everything on that page in that story.

Love Always, Catherine

This is a super cute book about helping kids figure out what to do when they've lost something. Worm is usually the one who helps others find their lost items, but now he's lost his hast. His friends comes over and gives him seemingly unhelpful tips to find them. He gets frustrated but then listens to his friend and does something else, and then he finds his hat! What a great lesson for kids. They can see what worms does and understand his emotions.

A humorous and delightful picture book, author Julie Wellerdiek celebrates the joy that follows finding something that has been lost.

In this story, Worm -- who runs the most successful lost and found business -- can't find his hat. Worm's friend Seal, Worm's most frequent customer, helps with a silly solution.

The animals are cute, the story is funny, and children can enjoy a seek and find game as they read!

Worm runs a lost & found business for all the animals in his area. He is open from sunrise to sunset, and loves his job especially sorting and filing. One day as he's about to leave for work, he realizes he's lost his cap! He recites his best friend Seal (who is known to lose things herself) to help him find his cap, Will he find it?

This is such a cute and funny Children's book! The artwork is cute and super engaging for little kids. It's an interactive book where kids are asked to help locate missing items for the animals that come to Worm's Lost and Found, and a list of lost objects on the second to last page for kids to locate throughout the book. I think young ones will have such a fun time with this one!

Again I am grabbing all the kids books to read and share with my daughter. This one looked really cute. I thought it was funny because work was so full of himself that he can find anything for everyone but then he couldn’t find his own hat. Our favourite part was when he found his hat and how.
We would recommend this read for everyone.
Thanks to Netgalley and NorthSouth Books for the complimentary copy.

Cute book with worm searching for his hat and helping friends find their lost items.
There are also some pages that ask kids to find certain things to keep them engaged.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC

This is a sweet book about a worm who runs a lost and found office who loses his cap and has to rely on his friend to help him find it, it's a quick and easy read but a really fun one to read, there's even a challenge at the back to find different objects hidden throughout the book which would be definitely something fun to do with a child who's reading it and would give it a rereading element, the pictures are stunning and I love how they seem to move around the text rather than the text dictating where the pictures should go. It adds to the overall enjoyment of the book.

I was sent this e-Arc on Netgalley in exchange for a fair and honest review.

Worm's Lost and Found is about Worm, who runs a Lost and Found shop where all of his friends can find the things they've been missing. Worm loves his job and loves being able to help everyone, but when Worm loses his hat, he has to count on Seal, one of his best customers, to help him find it.
I love the illustrations in this book and how Worm's expressions are SPOT on to the text in the book. Seal is a great friend who shows Worm that problems can have multiple solutions. This book would be great for any kiddos who may be missing something and are really upset by it or anyone just looking for a fun book with two great characters!

My kids found this book to be extremely funny. The worm character and steps for finding things especially made them laugh. . The art was unique and nice, as well. This is definitely one we 'd pick up at the library if we happened across it.

A sweet and simple story about a worm who owns a lost and found shop, and then loses his beloved hat. A fun choice for younger kids.

Thank you to NetGalley and NorthSouth Books for my advance reader copy in exchange for my honest feedback.

I wanted this to be about fun things the worm finds and brings to his lost and found. Instead worm loses his own hat, barely looks for it, makes pancakes and then is back to work. This one missed the mark for me but I saw the potential it had. I received an advance review copy for free via Netgalley and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Our kiddos adore hidden pictures in books and this one won't disappoint. It's also a great reminder on how to find things you've lost! A good story with charming illustrations!
