With another Scandinavian winter coming on, it is time for Lisa to pull her woolen clothes out of storage and air them out. However, when one of her woolen stockings blows off the line, it is found by an inquisitive hedgehog that promptly gets it stuck on the quills on his head! As poor Hedgie struggles to pull the stocking off his head, he bumps into each of the farm animals, who take great delight in laughing at him. But, it is Hedgie who has the last laugh, when he tells them that it is his new hat, which will protect him in the coming winter. And now, the other animals are looking for headgear of their own!Children's author and illustrator Jan Brett is well known for her wonderfully authentic retelling of folktales. This story is entirely Ms. Brett's own, inspired by her pet hedgehog Buffy, and a visit to Jan Christian Anderson's picturesque home on Fuenan, Denmark. As always with Ms. Brett's books, the story is wonderful, and the illustrations are absolute works of art! I loved this book, and am eagerly awaiting the birth of my baby, so that I can have someone to share this book with. Highly recommended!

Appealing story for all ages!,

Another Brett story to treasure! I was so thrilled to see my husband had picked up four Brett stories for me to read to our sons ~~ I love her illustrations and I love her story. She has an imagination that is just beguiling and refreshing to read. This one is about Lisa who takes her woolens out of her chest to air out in preparation for winter. Then when the wind blew one of her stockings off the line, a hedgehog gets in trouble when he couldn't get it off his head after he poked to see what was in the stocking. Because of his new fashion statement, the other animals in the barnyard decided to be fashionable too and "borrowed" Lisa's clothes to wear as hats. The pictures are hilarious as well as beautifully-drawn! My sons love looking at her pictures. I love reading it. It's not long and drawn-out like a lot of children's books. It's whimiscal and imaginative. This is another must-read for every child and her/his parents. 2-4-04

a classic,

This review is from: The Hat (Hardcover)
As an early childhood educator and a lover of good literature for children, I am a huge fan of Jan Brett. This title won't disappoint for reading aloud with young children. The illustrations are beautiful and add a whole other layer to the story, making this book one you and your child can read again and again noticing something new on every page.Be sure to check out Jan Brett's other titles, and visit her website at www.janbrett.com. It may be the best author website I've seen, with lots of activities and props to print for use at school or home.
