I Want My Hat Back by Jon Klassen
4.0
This is a fantastic picture book mystery for young kids!
From Jon Klassen, this book is a precursor to "This is Not My Hat." These books have become very popular with kids due to the fact that the text and pictures tell different stories. In "I Want My Hat Back," the reader is able to spot the bear's hat before the bear realizes who took it. This brings in a fun element for kids. The book also has fantastic pictures illustrated by Klassen himself. The pictures are simple, but gorgeous and fun. They bring an element of personification and personality to the characters in the story.
The bear is the main character in the book. The story opens with the bear claiming that his hat is gone, and he wants it back. It goes on to show the bear asking multiple other animals if they've seen his hat, to no avail. At the end, after every other animal has said that they haven't seen his hat, the bear realizes that he knows who has it.
This is a great book for beginning readers. It's not too difficult, but it's interesting and fun and can draw attention and make kids enjoy reading.
