Official synopsis Publisher
Funny how much stuff
you can lose when you move.
The only thing you can’t lose is yourself.
No matter how hard you try.
No matter where you go.
Lost:
1 absentminded dog names Loose Lucy
2 inseparable duet-singing finches
1 seemingly indestructible tortoise
1 huggable hamster
(FRAGILE — Please don’t squeeze.)
1 lopsided, lop-eared rabbit
*1 sneaky little chameleon
(*Not really lost. We just can’t see him.)
2 loving mothers
We miss them all very much.
— Walter & Sylvia
