A lost toy

A lost toy follows the journey of a young boy as he travels with his family to the beach, where he is eager to play in the sand with his favorite truck. However, when it comes time to return home, he accidentally abandons the truck. Though upset at the loss, he gains new perspective when his mother explains how another child will find joy in tripping over the truck on the beach.

A lost toy is perfect for fans of Whoever has heard of a flying bird by David Cunliffe et al What should Danny do? By Adir Levy. Both stories teach children about their power to choose, something that resonates with Kauffman as she encourages children to consider their feelings through their own work.

Unlike other children’s books, Kauffman’s stories are accessible to a wide range of ages, making them a fantastic option for mixed-age groups and families. Older siblings and even adults will appreciate the creative rhymes, colorful illustrations, and wholesome messages in this series.

reviewers praise A lost toy for his ability to capture how even a small thing like a lost toy truck can appear huge in a child’s eyes. By not using character names, A lost toy and the other books in the same series encourage children to imagine themselves in any situation for a more immersive experience.

Kauffman’s first two books – A big sock and A loose tooth – were well reviewed, which led her to write the third book in the titled series A new friend. The reviews of the first three books inspired her to continue writing so that children can continue to enjoy her books.
