What's Missing: Clothes, is a wonderful book to help kids become observant. It is a really cute book.

I received this book free in a Goodreads giveaway.

In this book a small article of clothing or a portion of an item of clothing (e.g. buttons or an overall strap) is missing from a picture and the child is supposed to determine what is missing. The next page shows the same picture with the missing item restored and a fact about the article of clothing. I gave the book three stars because it wasn't really what I was expecting or hoping for, which was a book I could use with my preschool clients I see for speech/language therapy, but the concept is unique and I think many kids would enjoy figuring out the missing details.
