Very Good Hats

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Very Good Hats is the first picture book by bestselling novelist Emma Straub, known for her work This Time Tomorrow. This joyous and inventive read-aloud will inspire children to see ordinary objects in a whole new light.

Some people think hats are fancy things you can buy at a dressy store, but that's just the tip of the iceberg. In Very Good Hats, acorns and raspberries become snug hats for your fingers, and an empty pudding cup serves as a good hat for a stuffed bear.

Pajama pants make dangly hats, books can be dramatic hats, and bubbles make very fine hats as wellβ€”even if they are temporary. Readers will be delighted to discover that anything can be a hat if you believe it is. Hats are everywhere you look!
