This book is great and teaches young children that if you find something that is not yours you should return it. This is a valuable lesson for young children. The main character Jamaica finds a stuffed animal and returns it to the lost and found. She meets a friend on the playground and realizes it is her stuffed animal. When the girl gets it back she is so happy. The ending is very happy. The illustrations are great and shows Jamaica and her entire story. They are a nice pastel and are well done. The reader also wants to keep reading the book to see what Jamaica does with the stuffed animal and to see if she returns it. Overall it is a great book for young children.

Summary: Jamaica was a curious girl who strolled to the park herself one afternoon and found a hat and a stuffed animal dog. She went to return the hat, but saved the dog for herself. She loved the dog with all of her heart and could not part with it. She took the dog to the swings, the slide, and even home. At home she made the dog a little bed until her mother came in to talk to her. Jamaica was convinced by her mother to return the dog, so the next day, sad, Jamaica took the dog to the lost and found. She then meets a girl outside crying who is looking for a hat and dog that she left at the park the day before. Jamaica becomes excited and tells the girl where she can find her things. Review: This is a wonderful book with many aspects that children can relate too. The central message of this book is responsibility and the value of helping others. Jamaica would have loved to keep the stuffed animal for herself. Right when she found the dog she plopped him into her bicycle basket and returned the hat. She was in love with the dog so much and was distraught when her parents told her she must return it. At a young age Jamaica only thought of her own feelings when finding the dog, but when she met the sad girl looking for the dog she understood. "Jamaica was almost as happy as..." the girl who found her dog, which shows the readers that Jamaica felt wonderful that she was able to help the girl out.
