Book Description
When a little boy bursts into their world, three extraordinary creatures find answers to the questions that have been troubling them
Product Description
Meet the Lostlet, twirling a golden leaf, and asking the questions: Where am I? What do I hope for? Meet the Stranglet, holding a smooth white pebble, asking: What am I? What do I dream of? Meet the Oddlet, listening intently to a pink seashell, asking: Who am I? What do I wish for? Lost in their own little worlds, the three creatures are powerless to find answers ... until a little boy appears, asking the very same questions – and who seems stranger, odder, more lost than they. Offering comfort to the child, the Lostlet, the Strangelet and the Oddlet discover their hearts' deepest desires – and their new friend helps make their wishes and dreams come true.

Format:Hardcover
This is an apt title, as this book is definitely filled with odd little characters. Fortunately, they are also sweet and adorable, which makes their oddities that much more endearing. You can tell with one glance at the cover what you are in for - both by title and illustration.
There are four main characters: the Lostlet, the Strangelet, the Oddlet and a little boy. The Lostlet aimlessly twirls a golden leaf, not quite sure what he is hoping for. The Strangelet clutches a smooth white pebble, dreaming of the unknown. The Oddlet dances in the wavelets with his pink shell, wishing for ... what? Each feels an empty place in their heart that their special possessions cannot fill.
A little boy comes running down the beach, the sight of which shocks the creatures. Never in their lost, strange, odd little worlds have they ever laid eyes on a boy before. And this is one distraught, lost little boy. The little boy knows exactly what he is hoping and wishing for. He wants to be home with his mom, surrounded by her love. The Lostlet, the Strangelet and the Oddlet are mystified by these words. One by one, they offer their treasured possessions to the boy in an effort to make him feel better. In return, the boy shows them love. The Lostlet becomes a Foundlet, the Strangelet is transformed into a Snuglet and the Oddlet is now known as a Huglet.
Yep, it's a strange little story with crazy little characters. They aren't recognizable as any animals we might be familiar with, and yet they are still oddly (to borrow a term) cute. The Lostlet has furry stripes and a pointy nose, while the Stranglet sports crazy green fur and what looks to be a broccoli crown atop his head. The Oddlet is blandly colored, but pleasingly plump and soft.
This goes to show that love can transform even the oddest and strangest creatures into happy beings. This is a gentle story that children will certainly embrace. The ending puts a great emphasis on how content a loving home can make us all feel.
