I Want My Hat Back

I Want My Hat Back by Jon Klassen, 2011.

Okay, this is a cute book. I REALLY like the illustrations. Simple but effective storytelling. Bear loses his hat and discovers it is stolen. The readers are in on the joke from early on and I can imagine children yelling, "HE HAS IT! HE HAS IT!" I don't know if it's the soft illustrations or calm demeanor of the bear, but this is a gentle book (except for another surprise ending by Klassen).


I love this picture. The look in both their eyes says it all!
