Summary
The boy knows Bongo was right there with him this morning but suddenly, Bongo is missing. He asks his whole family if they’ve seen the stuffed toy. “Yo no sé,” says abuela, “I don’t know.”
Mom and Dad haven’t seen him either. And Gato just meows and runs away.
When he finds Bongo, the boy is thrilled—but he still doesn’t understand how his toy ended up there. So he sets a trap to catch the Bongo thief.
The author gave the detail information in this book, and the expressive illustrations follow the boy’s investigation throughout his home, giving a glimpse at a warm, multi-generational family. [2]
