A brilliantly illustrated seek-and-find that dazzles even more than The Lost House, from the award-winning B. B. Cronin!
Grandad is taking his grandchildren on a picnic in his jalopy. They ride on a busy highway full of cars and signs, past charming villages and topiary-filled parks, out into the country. But when they finally arrive at the picnic spot, they discover all their food has tumbled out of the car along the way! It's up to readers to find the missing food so the family can enjoy their meal at last.

Raves for The Lost House:
“An eye-popping take on I Spy.”—O, the Oprah Magazine

"[A] stylish puzzler [and] superior seek-and-find for all ages."—The Wall Street Journal “The Lost House is packed with vivid illustrations and enchanting experience for old and young together.”—Goodhousekeeping.com
“Kids will spend more time giggling over all the quirky stuff Grandpa’s house is filled with in this search-and-find book than looking for the things they’re supposed to spot.”—Redbook
"Cronin’s silkscreenlike images are elegant as can be, resulting in a rich and suggestive excursion into a quietly unconventional world."—Publishers Weekly
"An artistic and creative seek-and-find book that makes for a fun interactive addition to most collections."—School Library Journal
