I Want My Hat Back

A bear has lost his hat, and he would very much like it back. One by one, he politely asks the animals he meets whether they have seen it, and one by one they say no. Have you seen it? Jon Klassen's deadpan story unfolds through sly, understated illustrations packed with visual humor, building to a twist that readers of all ages love to catch.

Now in a sturdy board book edition, this #1 New York Times bestseller is a true modern classic. The New York Times called it “a wonderful and astonishing thing, the kind of book that makes child laugh and adult chuckle, and both smile in appreciation. . . . Charmingly wicked.”
