Illustrated by
Yoko Tanaka.
Accidentally separated from their young owner, Blanket and Bear begin a long journey back to him. By the time they find their boy, he's too old to need them, so they're free to retire to the idyllic island of lost blankets and bears. The bittersweet story and pleasant acrylic illustrations may interest readers, but stilted writing limits the rhyming verses' appeal.
