“I am La La Rose, the pink stuffed rabbit. I am the inseparable friend of Clementine.” Unfortunately for La La Rose, they aren’t as inseparable as she thought. On a trip to Luxembourg Gardens with Clementine, she has a joyous time on the playground and the carousel, but when the bells ring and Grandma rushes Clementine away, nobody notices that La La has fallen out of the little girl’s backpack. La La has a harrowing time—tossed by a group of boys, tumbling down steps, thrown like a Frisbee, almost drowning in the pond—before she is finally found by a different little girl, who realizes the perfect place for La La is the lost-and-found. There, an anxious-looking Clementine is happily reunited with her wayward friend in Satomi Ichikawa’s charming story set in Paris. (Ages 3–7)
