Lost and Found


This is By and Far one of my favorite stories. "Lost and Found" by Oliver Jeffers is such a sweet tale of friendship that both children and parents will love. This book was illustrated by the author and is a perfect compliment to his wonderful tale of found friends.

This is an excellent story time book that can extend past preschool and into early elementary age children. It would be great to be used with a friendship or bird themed story time but I am sure that it would also work with a variety of others as well.

There are so many great activities to do with this book just a few of my favorites are:
  • Hang up sheets of butcher paper on the wall and have children create a sentence or two about their own special friend and then illustrate it.
  • Have the children create lost and found tags for their special friends and family. I will hopefully be able to upload an example
  • This idea is related to the book itself have the kids make paper boats or boats made out of soap and decorate them
