I Want My Hat Back


I Want My Hat Back
Jon Klassen


The Bear's hat is gone. He wants it back. He wanders around the forest asking every animal he sees, if they've seen his hat. One of them is not as honest as he seems. 

I Want My Hat Back is a straight to the point page turner with fantastic illustrations. Klassen uses simple but captivating watercolour drawings and his subjects show very little expressions until a pivotal moment which mirrors your own reaction. Dreaming of when the inside jacket will become a wallpaper print, I recommend this book to those who love understated illustrations and a good chuckle throughout a short yet delightful read.
