K-3Toon Book series.
Benny and Penny set off in search of Benny's lost pirate hat. The fog makes familiar parts of the yard seem threatening, but the story ends happily with the mice safely back home and the pirate hat located. Like the others in the series, the graphic novel works well for emergent readers with its clear plot, childlike emotions, soft illustrations, and simple language.
