Goodreads Summary
In this paneled picture book, join a small girl on her hilarious and surprising search for her lost cat--and watch as she helps her neighbors, who have also lost their pets, along the way!Where, oh where is Kitty? She's not upstairs... not in her litter box... not at her food bowl. Hmm...There's only one thing to find this lost cat.As the cat's owner roams town in hopes of finding her pet, she discovers she's not the only one missing their beloved animal. There's also a lost dog...a lost bird...even a lost giraffe! Join the search party in this almost wordless story that celebrates helping our neighbors and gently reminds us that what is lost can always be found.

My Thoughts
I LOVE a wordless picture book and this one does not disappoint. The story is told through panels with flashbacks depicted on full-page circles. There is so much to explore and discuss! 
Why are some characters shown in color and others in black and white? 
Who changes?
How do they change? 
What does the author want us to learn?
