Perdu is a little dog, lost in the rain and cold, and nothing but a red scarf to keep him warm. He decides to follow a wind-blown leaf through the woods, and finds himself in a city. Looking for a place to be, Perdu is chased away, but eventually ventures inside a cafe, but draws attention to himself when he pulls down a tablecloth, and he's chased away again with nothing to eat. He's having a hard time finding a place to be, perhaps someone will find him.
Lovely illustrations - I loved the peaceful woods and the contrast with the busy city. I really liked that Perdu was a dog - thinking dog things and acting like a dog. A sweet story about finding a forever home.
