Remember Larry, the dog? The one who got lost in New York? (June 15, 2017, post). Seems he is lost again, this time in a place closer to home (well, for those of us here in the PNW): Larry Gets Lost in Seattle, illustrated by John Skewes, written by Eric Ode and John Skewes. As before, I love the images of the city, and that little bit of extra information these authors include in their books but still, I worry about a lost dog! The cover on my copy indicates I have a "10th anniversary edition" of the book.

Here's another book about Larry, again in Seattle! (The authors/illustrator are locals). Seattle ABC: A Larry Gets Lost Book, written by John Skewes and Robert Schwartz and illustrated by John Skewes. There are wonderful choices for each letter along with the fun pictures I've come to expect from this series. A friend of a friend collects ABC books, sure hope this one is in the collection!

Take a wonderful tour of Western Washington with Three Bears of the Pacific Northwest, by Marcia and Richard Vaughan and illustrated by Jeremiah Trammell. Blue Bear has lost his human and Black Bear and Brown Bear help with his search. Along the way look for familiar trees, animals, birds and insects. Charming!
