I Want My Hat Back by Jon Klassen-ADVISABLE

Klassen, Jon.  I Want My Hat Back, 40 pgs.  Candlewick, 2011.  $15.99.  Inside cover: “A bear has lost his hat.  What if he never sees it again?  WAIT!  He has seen his hat…” This is a unique tale told completely in verse.  The illustrations are fantastic.  The words are simple.  There is a great twist at the end of the book, that might be offensive to some parents, but I think most little children will escape it’s meaning, and older children will find it humorous.  It is definitely not your typical ending for a children’s book. Before purchasing, you might want to read it first.  EL (K-3). ADVISABLE.  Reviewer: SL.
