Miss Fannie's Hat

My daughter (age 3) loves this book! She enjoys looking forher favorite hat each time we read it. Having read the Mitford series,I was glad to see that Jan Karon had written children's books aswell. The illustrations in the book are great, nice and vivid. It's a very cute and fun book to read. It's a loving story not just about the hat, but the relationship that Miss Fannie has with her daughter. That is a story of it's own. It's a great book to give as a gift to anyone, adult or child. Jan Karon is a superb writer and I look forward to purchasing more books written by her for myself, as well as for my children. Another great book written by her that we have purchased is "Jeremy". Enjoy!

Miss Fannie's Hat

What a sweet story! Anyone who has ever had a sweet, active grandmother will love this book. Lots of color, and just a fun read. I am a grandmother and I bought it for me! I have read all of Jan Karon's books and you can't go wrong with her stuff.

A sweet, well-written book that all of my children enjoyed!

This book was a great find that teaches the importance of giving. It also portrays the aged Miss Fannie in such a way that it allowed my children to appreciate the incredible worth of the elderly. Even though it was a children's book, I found myself with a tear in my eye as I finished reading it aloud. This will be a gift I choose for friends with children!

Wonderful Easter story

Having read the Mitford series by Jan Karon, I was thrilled to discover she also has written children's books. I know a lady just like Miss Fannie at my church. It's a wonderful story for old and young alike. My women's group had everyone wear hats to their May meeting and shared this book with all the gals. They loved it. And the surprise at the back of the book is really enjoyed by my granddaughters.

A delightful book for everyone!

Jan Karon has done it again! Not only has she kept me spellbound with The Mitford Years, but Jan Karon has created a terrific platform for children's books as well.Miss Fannie's Hat is a wonderful, true story about Jan Karon's own grandmother, that demonstrates the joys of sacrifice. A lesson can be learned from Miss FannieÑI can only pray that Jan Karon writes more children's books about her grandmother!
