Adorable!

We love this book and the other one by the same author, "That's Philomena!" The characters reflect how siblings really interact with each other. Each one is different from the other with an unique personality. I wish there were more books about Felix and his family!

A family treasure

This book and I go back a long way. My daughter now 8 read this book every day for longer than I can remember. And now my son 2 1/2 is enjoying this worn out book. Felix loves his orange hat. Felix's family love him. After Felix looses his hat at the pond all of his family members try to make him feel better. Finally, his big brother saves the day by sharing his old red hat with Felix. This is a very well written book. Alot of fun to read. From felix bouncing in a bowl of milk like a cheerio to a flying turtle returning Felix's hat. What a delight.

A good story

Felix is a frog in a large frog family who loses his prized hat. After a futile search and a period of mourning, he adopts a replacement hat and is happy with it. I like the story because Felix has a large, supportive family who helped him look for his hat, lifted him when he was down, and provided a replacement. Also, the fact the Felix could not find the original hat is a good lesson for youngsters. The illustrations are terrific, too.

GREAT!!!

This book has a great plot, adorable illustrations, and loveable characters. It's perfect for all kids (and adults too!). You feel like you know the characters, and even though they are frogs, they seem very real. It is very imaginative. I've read it to every kid I've babysat for, and they have all loved it!!! (The youngest to understand it was three, and the oldest to go crazy about how great it was was my grandmother.)
