‘I Want My Hat Back’ by Jon Klassen
It is rare to find a kids book that is both beautifully illustrated and genuinely funny, which makes ‘I Want My Hat Back’ – the cautionary tale of a bear who makes it his mission to find his stolen hat – all the more enchanting. Like all great books it also has a strong moral point (that is: steal hats and prepare to be eaten).
