Sequence of kids, from stone age to present,misplace items on errand to their respectivegrandparents. On losing his own item, eachfinds item lost by previous kid, and the founditem becomes a treasure.Big pictures with many details tell the storyalmost as completely as the narration. The illustrationsactually fill in quite a bit of the story that wouldbe awkward to put into kid-accessible prose. Theillustrations seem to have a dialogue with thetext, when the same geographic features are calledby different names, or new features are named for thelandscape they replace.
