When Alfred Crabtree loses his false teeth, he must search for them among his piles upon piles of belongings.

---

Alfred Crabtree has lost his false teeth. But don´t worry, he´ll find them if he can just get his things organized! Alfred´s world is cluttered with surprising objects. Some are very uncommon, and some are probably not where they ought to be. There are a lot of pencils and small yapping dogs. There´s a squeeze bottle of mustard, a plunger, a rubber band or two, a few very fancy hats, and a group portrait of sea monsters. There´s an old cassette tape, a swizzle stick, a bicycle pump, and an armadillo shell. Join Alfred on a romp through his far too many possessions and you´ll end up learning more about him than he knows about himself. And maybe he´ll find his teeth in all that stuff!

One bright fall, Alfred Crabtree woke up to discover he couldn´t find his false teeth.

He tried posting a LOST TEETH sign at the local post office, but he was afraid nobody would see it.

So Alfred started searching his belongings himself.
