What a shame that this totally engaging title is out of print. Mrs. Fitzwarren takes her unwieldy children on a new outing on each page--to tea, for ice cream, to the beach. Someone always loses patience with the kids--sometimes Mrs. Fitzwarren herself--and the baby always gets lost. Children love finding the lost baby, whose ears pop up in the most unexpected places--in the teapot, in the trash can, in a sand castle, nowhere, in Mrs. Fitzwarren's handbag, and finally, fast asleep. Our children memorized this book, and ended up reading it to us. They never tired of finding the baby, or calling out the places he was lost. Our copy is falling apart. If you find one, treat your family to it. You won't be sorry. Alyssa A. Lappen
