Customer Reviews

Do YOU have a great book about hats?

My 2-year old son absolutely loves this book. The poetry and pictures are so engaging that I don't even have to read this book to him anymore--I just turn the pages while he recites the entire book to me instead. The rhymes are so clever! Each page also taught me something new. A few of the people mentioned in this book I had not previously heard of, such as Nat Love and Louis Comte, so I took this book one step further and showed my son each person on the Internet to pique his interest (and mine) even more. I definitely recommend this book to everyone with small kids!

Great for pre-schoolers and up

This is an entertaining book that incorporates historical figures that wore hats into the story. Very colorful illustrations make the story even more enjoyable! My children enjoyed it very much.

Does your toddler love books and love to wear hats?

At first I wasn't sure if my two year old would go for this book but he LOVES it! It's a little long, so I would recommend it for young toddlers, like my son, who really like to be read to and who have a long attention span. With older kids, about four and older, it should be fine. Each time I read this book to my son, I have to read it at least twice. I'm not sure if it's the very well written poetry or the pictures that captivate him the most. He has recently decided that he likes to wear hats and likes his mommy and daddy to wear hats, so maybe that's it. Anyway, this is a fun book that parents won't mind reading again and again and toddlers who love books, and hats, will simply adore.
