I Want My Hat Back by Jon Klassen
5.0
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐/5 Stars
We follow a bear who has lost his hat and wants it back. He is very polite and patient as he asks all of the animals he sees if they have seen his hat. Just when all hope is lost, the bear remembers where he has seen his hat. The story ends with a mischievous twist that leaves children laughing.
It is no surprise to me that this book has a 4.8 star rating on Amazon. This is currently my favourite book to pull out to my preschool class when they seem to be in a bit of a silly mood. Great to read out loud and manages to keep my class of 22 fully engaged, they love that they can pick up when certain characters aren't being honest. Jon Klassen's writing is so deadpan and the illustrations are able to convey so much feeling despite the expressions not really changing at all. I also love the message of telling the truth, as well as helping each other out when we have a problem.
This book would be best suited for an adult to read out loud to children 3+.
