RASCHKA, Chris. Daisy Gets Lost. NY: Schwartz & Wade [2013]. Square 4to, [32]pp. Color pictorial boards. Green endpapers; color illustrations on every page. A fine copy in original color pictorial dust jacket. Signed by the author/artist, two-time Caldecott Medalist Chris Raschka!

 

First edition. The follow-up to Raschka’s nearly-wordless Caldecott Medal-winning A Ball for Daisy. Any child who has ever felt lost will relate to Daisy's despair upon finding herself in an unfamiliar part of the park after chasing a squirrel. In a nearly wordless picture book, Daisy encounters the unease of being lost and the joys of being found. Raschka's signature swirling, impressionistic illustrations and his affectionate story will particularly appeal to young dog lovers, teachers, parents and, of course, the legions of Daisy fans out there.
