A Lost Cause
"Pablo, a little pig who always misplaces his belongings, feels overwhelmed by the responsibility of keeping track of everything, especially with an upcoming show-and-tell, until, with a little help, he discovers the secret lives of his missing things"--
From award-winning creator Felicita Sala comes a whimsical adventure about a child who's determined to recover all his misplaced belongings, wherever they may be.
A baseball cap. A special sweater covered in dogs. A marble collection. The baseball cap, again.
Pablo just can't stop losing his things: at the bus stop, in the park, on a plane, everywhere! When his exasperated parents give him the responsibility of keeping track of everything, Pablo tries—he really does. But his room has become a frightful mess, and with show-and-tell just around the corner, Pablo needs to find his things now more than ever. Where have they gone to? And who can help him now?
Relatably told from a child's point of view, this playful tale from internationally beloved author-illustrator Felicita Sala explores the secret lives of the countless little things that go missing every day.
