Publisher's summary

The first picture book by best-selling novelist Emma Straub, adapted for audio, this joyous and inventive listen will inspire kids to see ordinary objects in a whole new way.

Some people think hats are fancy things you can buy at a dressy store, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. In this audiobook, acorns and raspberries are snug hats for your fingers, and an empty pudding cup is 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 (if temporary). Listeners will be delighted to discover that anything can be a hat if you believe it is. Hats are everywhere you look!

Critic reviews

★ "Children will have a ball donning their thinking caps and coming up with original ideas for devising all sorts of hats and various creatures and objects to wear them—including themselves. The digital illustrations incorporate paper collage and are as colorful, lively, and inventive as the text."—Kirkus, starred review

★ ”Full of bright colors and strong shapes, and centering doll-like characters with an array of skin tones, digitally enhanced collage art from Gómez contributes bountifully to this book’s classic feel, offering an openhearted aesthetic playfulness that promises to inspire audiences’ love of categorization."—Publishers Weekly, starred review

"Whimsy and imagination fill the pages of this colorful title dedicated to covering not just your head . . . Illustrations of a diverse cast of round-faced adults and young people are reminiscent of the style of Christian Robinson and are wonderful for the intended audience. Children will love the bubble-covered bottom of a character taking a shower on the spread celebrating pajama pant hats and twirly towel hats."—School LIbrary Journal

Very entertaining for all ages

This is a beautiful book that can open a plethora of conversations with our kids. As a parent sometimes I forget the viewpoint of a child, this was a refreshing reminder.
