Review: A Lost Cause by Felicita Sala — Readings Books

Felicita Sala’s A Lost Cause is a gorgeous story for the kid who just can’t seem to keep track of their things! Pablo is very forgetful, leaving his belongings behind wherever he goes. At first his parents help him find each missing object, but eventually they decide it’s time for him to take responsibility for his own stuff. But Pablo keeps losing his treasures, and without his parents’ help, they seem to be gone for good. Luckily, just as he starts to get overwhelmed, Pablo finds a pet rock in his wardrobe who knows where to look for his stuff!

With adorable, full-colour illustrations, A Lost Cause is perfect for absent-minded kids who really do mean well! It encourages responsibility and taking care of your belongings, while staying kind and empathetic to the kids who can’t help but lose things, no matter how hard they try (and they do try)! For ages 4+.
