Lost in the Noodles

Get lost—and found again—in the supermarket noodle aisle, where a young explorer uses wilderness survival tips to come to her own rescue!

Clover and her papa head to the grocery store to stock up on snacks before their first hike together. But Clover’s in for a big adventure before they even reach the great outdoors . . .

“Oh no . . . I lost my papa! Should I retrace my steps? Where’d he go?”

When she gets separated from her papa, she reminds herself not to panic. The grocery store is a much safer place to get lost than in the great outdoors, after all. But it will still take smart thinking to get reunited with her papa. Will Clover’s wilderness skills come in handy sooner than expected?

This fresh and funny take on a relatable fear—getting separated from a parent in an unfamiliar place—is paired with a reassuring message of self-reliance.
