Book 9 in series “Exploring Our Community.” This first paperback edition was published in 2025, but the hardcover was published in 2009. Sally and her four friends are looking for her missing cat and dog. The simple text is accompanied by a colorful map that uses symbols to identify places such as the library,  park, airport, country, and eventually across the world and the solar system. On the way, a different type of map is featured and explained. The information is solid and works better as an informational book than story. Although, readers will enjoy looking for the animals who are hiding somewhere in each map. Instructions for creating a map of a bedroom are included in the back of the book. Ages 4-8.
