Review Quotes
Here a boy and his grandfather--favorite subjects for Mr. Usher--enjoy an epic day building a sandcastle (we see it as the child imagines it, towering over them both). . . . The two are drawn into more dramatic events when they find a seal pup tangled in a net. What follows is a series of heroic, impossible feats as the boy and his grandfather brave stormy seas to restore the baby seal to its family in this joyful picture book.
--The Wall Street Journal
'Found' is a delightful story that exudes the joy of discovery and imagination. Perfectly balanced with enchanting illustrations, 'Found' is not to be missed.
--Reading Eagle
Gently humorous and wonderfully warm, this tale revels in its depiction of a fun and affectionate intergenerational bond. . . . A great storytime find.
--Kirkus Reviews
In this beautifully illustrated picture book, Usher sends his familiar main characters, a boy and his grandfather, on a rescue mission that turns into a rewarding adventure. . . . Created with a childlike vision and written in simple words, the narrative delivers the sort of perfect day that an adventurous kid might envision. . . . An imaginative book that features a memorable day at the beach.
