Guess what – I liked them both. One took me by surprise because I started out bored, the second I enjoyed all the way through.
I Want My Hat Back, started slowly for me and I was bored. One of those books where an animal asks a different animal on each page for his hat (we’ve seen this format a zillion times) what we haven’t seen is how the animal whose hat was lost gets his hat back. I won’t spoil it for you but…. I LOVED IT. Some of y’all won’t love it because you won’t want to have to explain what happened to your small children. I, on the otherhand, found it to be refreshing and will be buying this one for Johnny Mac Pippin.
I Had a Favorite Dress was adorable. A little girl whose mom found a way to tweak the girl’s favorite dress each time she grew. Fabulous. Adorable. Great artwork.
