In this tricky seek-and-find book, Grandad enlists help from his two grandpups (and readers) to track down missing decorations for his tree on Christmas Eve. Acrylic illustrations show the young ones scouring the messy house (inside and outside) for a variety of ornaments, before enjoying their decorating handiwork with cake and warm drinks. The book's unusual-for-Christmas bright-neon palette adds an extra visual challenge.

Grandad, the debonair dog from The Lost House, sets off with his two grandpups and a picnic lunch. They drive through eye-popping, neon-colored scenes (a park, a village, etc.), but when they arrive at the picnic grounds, their basket is--"Holy moly!"--empty. Readers will happily accept the task of going back and scouring the stylish spreads for the missing items.

In this charming and challenging seek-and-find book, Grandad, a jowly, dapper bulldog, needs help locating various items in messy, monochromatic rooms before he can take his granddogs to the park. The large trim size barely contains the unusual clutter depicted in the delightful silkscreen-looking art, and blazingly bright neon shades of some rooms add to the challenge.
