Colette's Lost Pet

(4) K-3 Colette struggles with a move to a new urban home. But the contrived problem of a (made-up) lost pet parakeet sets her on an adventure with the neighborhood children as they band together searching. Smudgy pencil, watercolor, and ink drawings in varying-size panels--digitally colored with touches of parakeet blue and yellow--can be hard to read, but the story is ultimately heartwarming.
