Who Took the Farmer's Hat?

by Joan L. Nodset and Joan L Nodset

Book Overview

The farmer had a hat, an old brown hat. Oh, how her liked that old brown hat! But then the wind came, and blew the hat away. And as fast as the farmer ran, the wind raced even faster. So the farmer went looking. Neither squirrel, nor Mouse, nor Duck, nor any of the other animals has seen the hat--though they had seen some pretty strange things. Would the farmer ever find his favorite hat?

Cute story

Mom and child (4 years old) enjoy this book at bedtime. It's a cute story and not too long or to short great for bedtime reading.

excellent condition, speedy delivery - thank you

thanks for such great and fast service, the book is perfect, my pre-schoolers love it.

Great for new readers

My daughter is a beginning reader. After completing "Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons," she was able to jump right in and read all but 2-3 of the words in this book. The story and illustrations lend themselves to great questions about observation and reading comprehension.

Cute- a nice lesson about sharing, perceptions, and walking a mile in another creatures shoes

I really enjoyed reading this book to my own child, and he requested it again, which carries more weight with me than popularity and gimmicky-ness (I avoid digitally produced illustrations if at all possible). The illustrations in this book appear to be a combination of line, charcoal, and watercolor, and very unassuming, almost childlike themselves. The repetitive nature of the storyline allows the child to participate in the story whether by reading it or not, and predict the next event. In the end, one gets the feeling that all of the animals are conspiring with the bird in transforming the farmer's attitude about the importance of posessing his hat. We were all happy for the farmer that he got a new hat out of it, and for the bird that he got to keep his new nest!

Who Took the Farmer's Hat?

A charming story of the adventures a farmer takes to find who took his hat and his sacrifice in the end.
