A delightful twist on a lost pet story that takes an adorable pup around the world to track down what he thinks is his best friend's prized possession--from the critically acclaimed creator of That's Not My Name!, Bilal Cooks Daal, and I Am Perfectly Designed.

Milo loves to make his owner Louise happy because she’s his favorite person in the world. While they’re strolling through the park one day, Louise picks a twig up off the ground and says to Milo, “This is Stick”. She throws Stick across the grass and Milo excitedly brings it back to her. Milo doesn't know why they do this over and over again, but he knows that he can put a smile on her face by running after Stick. So, when Louise throws Stick a little too far, Milo is determined to go the distance too.

Milo starts searching all over the neighborhood for Stick—while Louise simultaneously searches for Milo—but there's one problem: all the sticks look the same! Which one is Louise's stick? Milo sets out on a grand adventure for a little pup, and while his quest takes him all over the globe, he learns that home is where he really wants to be. Anoosha Syed stretches her storytelling talents with this hilarious and tender friendship story.

Milo will do anything to make Louise happy. When she finds a stick that she loves, Louise throws it and Milo keeps bringing it back wanting her to have something she enjoys. But one time, Louise throws it too far and Milo has trouble finding it. He doesn't want Louise to be unhappy, so Milo sets off on an adventure to find the stick. His search takes him all over, but the whole time he misses Louise and wonders if she feels the same. In the end, his search is futile, but he's ready to go home. What he doesn't realize is while he's been searching for the stick, Louise has been searching for him.

LOST STICK is a cute and heartwarming story about a dog's loyalty to its owner. Milo's instinctive desire to see Louise happy is just like any pet and owner relationship. While we like to see our pets happy, they want the same and this book highlights that. I love how colorful and detailed the illustrations are. They even highlight different cultures as Milo goes on his adventure.


Final Verdict: I would recommend this to families with pets. It would be a great read aloud book for children to read to their pets. It's a sweet story for fans of dogs and adventure.
