A picture book for anyone who has ever lost anything! Worm runs one of the best lost and found offices in the world. He has a rare ability to find things. Lost umbrella? Missing keys? Misplaced toy? If it is lost, then Worm can find it. But then the unthinkable happens: Worm can't find his hat! Worm's absent-minded friend Seal is always losing things. But can she help Worm find his beloved hat? Seal has the perfect solution: look left, look right, then . . . make pancakes? Can Seal's silly solution actually help Worm find his favorite cap? In Jule Wellerdiek's first book with NorthSouth she finds a humorous way to deal with things that are lost, and celebrates the joy that comes with finding things when you least expect it.

Zusammenfassung
Das Fundbüro Wurm gehört zu den besten der Welt. Der Wurm hat eine seltene Begabung Dinge wiederzufinden. Die zerstreute Robbe kommt fast jeden Tag vorbei, weil sie etwas verloren hat. Doch dann passiert das Undenkbare: Der durch und durch verlässliche Wurm kann seine Mütze nicht finden! Wir sind oft ziemliche Schussel. Wo ist mein Handy? Wo die zweite Socke? Wer hat meinen Teddy gesehen, ohne den ich nicht schlafen kann? Dass die Welt von sowas nicht untergeht, vermittelt das grandiose Duo Wurm und Robbe. Jule Wellerdieks erstes Buch bei NordSüd hilft dabei, Verlust zu akzeptieren und zelebriert zugleich die Freuden des Wiederfindens.
