The Bureau of Misplaced Dads

32 pp. | Kids Can | August, 2015 | Trade ISBN 978-1-77138-238-0 $16.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Pauline Martin. What luck! A boy who has "misplaced" his dad meets a man from "the Bureau of Misplaced Dads." There the boy encounters "a colorfully dressed dad," "a clueless dad," etc., but alas, not his own. The resolution seems too easy for this quirky, mind-bending story, but readers will root for the reunion and smile at the quasi-absurdist portraits of fathers.
