Customer Reviews

Love it!

Awesome illustrations and tale. Our whole family loves making the animal sounds with each new animal entering the hat and finally the NO for the teeny-weeny flea.

Excellent story and illustrations

We just love this book. The illustrations are vivid, fun and humorous. My 1 and half year old gets into the animals sounds. It is an easy and enjoyable read. We find ourselves laughing as the hat grows.

A fun Christmas diversion

My son recieved this book as a gift, and it's a good choice for the child aged 3-5. It's a cumulative story, with plenty of repetition as a new animal discovers the hat on each page. It has a really cute surprise ending. The illustrations are really imaginitive, with many odd and tiny details to discover for the inquisitive tot. Actually I'd say the oddness and sophistication of the illustrations may appeal more to adults, but they are beautiful and fun for kids too.
