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 well—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!
