The Hat by Jan Brett

5.0

I’m never disappointed by a story from Jan Brett. Hedgehog is the center of this amusing story. A little girl is airing out her winter woolens when one sock falls off the clothesline. A curious hedgehog sticks his head in the opening and it gets stuck on his prickles. It’s quite cute. So now he tells all the animals laughing at him that it is a hat.

What I enjoy about the story is on each page in the panels, we see the little girl, on the top we see the clothes line and on the right we see the next animal that will laugh at the hedgehog’s hat. As the pages turn, the items on the clothesline start to dwindle. It’s fun to watch and catch it.

The little girl chases down the hedgehog and gets her glove back and then laughs at all the animals wearing ‘hats’ in the yard.

The kids thought this was amusing as well and they know a Jan Brett book when they see it. They are also fans now as their mother adores them. Well, the whole family does. This got 5 stars all around.
