Description

It’s a new day in the garden, and Poppy and Sam are paying a visit to their friend Snuggles Molesy. But Snuggles is in a pickle, looking for a lost pair of pretty pink glasses! Sleuths Poppy and Sam begin to investigate: all around the garden, along the shore of the creek, and even inside the pies Snuggles had been baking. Along the way, they ask the other critters they encounter.

Poppy and Sam don’t have much luck finding the glasses, but they do come across a variety of other treasures: a flowered umbrella, a flute, a yellow spinning top, and more. By the end of the story, they set up a whimsical lost and found with all of these objects—and finally find the rosy specs, while their fellow garden friends find misplaced treasures of their own.

The second Poppy and Sam adventure, this picture book/graphic novel hybrid is full of friendly characters, charming details, and a fun and suspenseful storyline that will be sure to delight young readers.

What a lovely story! It didn't download quite that way it should have, but it was readable and I loved the illustrations- so cute! I love that lost and found of everything all the critters had lost. it was a fun adventure to search for all those lost things and gathering them all together so everyone could find what they had lost. Little will enjoy this story!

This is a really cute read. A book I'll be reading to my grandson as soon as he's old enough to enjoy bed time stories. The illustrations were great and added perfectly to the story.

My 6 year old loved the first one, so I was super excited to see an ARC for the second as she asked for more immediately after finishing. This was so cute, still love the art style, the story was cute, and it seemed like a great choice for a pretty new reader (not too much text or too difficult)

Poppy, Sam and Mole search for one lost item results in finding so much more than they were looking for. New friends are made along the way in the comical and expressive story. Playful and productive in nature, this book will inspire seekers of lost things and ultimately sometimes you never know where a day might lead you and the unexpected outcomes that can culminate at the end of a day.

This is another book translated from French about friends Poppy and Sam. Mole has lost his glasses and they all three set out to find them. They all appear to be small in the soft illustrations and live in a world of their own surrounded by tall stalks of grass and delicate flowers. The panels are different sizes and the speech bubbles contain just enough text to move the story along in this beginner comic. The mystery has a satisfying ending for Mole and other woodland neighbors.

Thanks to the publisher for letting me read this title. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Poppy and Sam drop in to visit mole. He's all sad because he's lost his pink glasses. They are going to help him fund them.

Owlkids Books and Net Galley let me read this book for review (thank you). It will be published August 13th.

As they go back to places he's been that morning, they find all kinds of things but not his glasses. (Let your child look over the pictures and see how many things they can find before they read about it.)

When they finally find the glasses, they also have others claiming what they've picked up so far. So they set up a lost and found and everything goes home with someone. Everybody is in a good mood by the end.

Poppy and Sam decide to go visit their friend, Snuggles Molesy, only to find the mole has lost his glasses. They all retrace his steps in their search for the lost glasses, finding many other lost items along the way.They finally find the glasses up a tree with Ms. Bat, and it seems they have found her lost hat. They set up a lost and found area to return the other items to their owners, and soon everyone is reunited with their lost things. This is a sweet story about helping your friends, and the illustrations are so cute and fun, filled with lots of color and detail.
