After Grandma creates a stuffed platypus from Grandpa's plaid shirt, her granddaughter vows never to lose it--but can't live up to her promise. Young children will enjoy the text's repetitions ("Plaidypus lost. / Plaidypus found. / This story goes around and around") and the thrill of finding a missing keepsake. The large-scale book's art features an irresistible Plaidypus.
