The bear's hat is gone, and he wants it back. Patiently and politely, he asks the animals he comes across, one by one, whether they have seen it. Each animal says no, some more elaborately than others. But just as he begins to lose hope, lying flat on his back in despair, a deer comes by and asks a rather obvious question that suddenly sparks the bear's memory and renews his search with a vengeance. Told completely in dialogue, this quirky take on the classic repetitive tale plays out in sly illustrations laced with visual humour and winks at the reader with a wry irreverence that will have kids of all ages thrilled to be in on the joke.

Review:
What a fine book it is...The story is funny and has a twist at the end that would be interesting to explore with a young child. -- Clare Poole * The Bookseller * magnificent ... beautifully put together ... it has a twisted, almost British sense of humor to it... A great little book. * School Library Journal * delectable * Publishers Weekly * Using a simple dialogue and subtle colour changes the author shows children how to work out what has happened. -- Marilyn Brocklehurst * The Bookseller * This is deadpan humour at its best, with a wickedly dark twist that draws bear himself in to telling a lie...This is a fabulously original and wry tale by a rising talent, giving an intriguing insight in to fibbing * Nursery World * This is the first picture book to be both written and illustrated by the clever and ever-so quirky Jon Klassen . . . The different animal responses make the book perfect for reading aloud: it's one adults will love as much as children * We Love This Book * Delicious deadpan humour with Klassen's muted, distinctive illustration and a splash of dramatic colour make this highly original book a joy from start to finish -- Sally Morris * Daily Mail * Jon Klassen's story is told completely in cleverly repetitious dialogue; the illustrations are full of subtle humour and the unexpected ending is a stroke of genius. * The Scotsman * There's a trend in children's books now or sophisticated humour, ace illustrations a wry take on life. Klassen's I Want my Hat Back fits neatly into the genre....parents and grandparents will have a chuckle while reading it at bedtime for the 100th time. * Belfast Telegraph * Lifts the picture book to real art form * The Big Issue * The best picture books, like the best poetry, show the brilliance of simplicity, and this is one of these. * The Big Issue *
Book Description:
A picture book debut by a rising talent tells a cumulative tale with a cheeky twist, aided by graphically simple, and truly hilarious, illustrations.
