Nini Lost and Found
by Anita Lobel
Grades PreK-2 40 pages Knopf September 2010 Hardcover    

Nini, a striped tabby cat, runs away from home. At first, she revels in the soft moss and numerous trees in the woods. But as night falls, Nini begins to be afraid of the strange sounds and menacing animals and longs for her cozy and loving home.

When she finally makes her way back home, our heroine muses that her adventures can wait for another day. She is happy to be back safely at home…”for now.”

Close-up, detailed artwork in gouache and watercolor illustrations characterize this attractive and appealing book. Children will find the theme of an adventure followed by a safe return home appealing.

Nini Lost and Found is a quiet charmer of a book by Anita Lobel, author of the previous Nini Here and There, the other adventure based on Lobel’s own cat.
