Product Description
Product Description
One little girl, one smart hat, a sudden gust of wind – and we're off on a whole hatful of adventures!
Book Description
Because this isn't just any old hat. It can also be a toy for a dog, a hiding-place for a mouse, a frisbee for some children and a nest for some birds. Surely poor Rosie will never find her hat again . . . or will she?

Format:Hardcover
As a parent and a teacher I found this book an absolute gem. The story may have few words but the rhythm, rhyme and repetition that characterise Julia Donaldson's work are all here. The illustrations lend themselves to lots of discussion and my two year old keeps me on my toes with his observations. I have also used it in the classroom as the use of verbs at the end of each page is fantastic for literacy work.

Format:Paperback
This is a beautifully illustrated and well written children's book. Quite different to Julia Donaldson's better-known and rather formulaic Gruffalo-style books it is a delightful story written in charming couplets. Heavenly reading for children between 18 months to 3 years.

Format:Paperback
I borrowed this from the library for my 3 year old Donaldson-lover, and was not disappointed. It started several long discussions about growing up and what happens to all our toys etc when we do, and how things can have many uses, and about recycling, and about memories.
It is a simple rhythmic rhyming story (how could that other reviewer miss the rhyme?), with gently beautiful illustrations, about a little girl whose hat blows away in the wind. It becomes a hiding place for a mouse, a frisby for some children, a sandcastle-mould, and a nest for a bird, and is finally rediscovered by the grown up Rosie, now a fireman, when rescuing a cat from the tree in which the hat is in use as a nest.
Simple, elegant, thought-provoking and conversation-inspiring. What more can you ask from a toddler/ pre-schooler book?

Brilliant book
This is a really lovely book. Both of my preschoolers enjoy having it read to them at bedtime, and I enjoy reading it which is always a bonus! Read more

Great story
This is a great story with lovely engaging pictures. My son loves the fact Rosie becomes a firefighter. Highly recommended.

Cute Book
My daughter likes this book. She loves the pictures on it and she likes me reading it to her. She particularly likes the dog pictures and tries to discover the dog in all pages.

Awful
I am sorry, but this book is dreadful. I am into books, as is my daughter. I am happy for her to select any of her books for me to read, but not this one! Read more

Not at all the usual standard for this author - no rhymes, which my grandchildren love and which have certainly helped them to read. Read more

A lovely book, with real depth
I 've enjoyed many of Julia Donaldson's other books, but liked this one rather more, though my daughter probably liked it a little less. Read more

Not as good as the others
I'm a bit disapointed with it. We have almost all of her others and I'd say this is the weakest. Shame because the story could be brilliant!!

Too young for a 3 year old
I bought this book because we own every other Julia Donaldson book, but this one is aimed at a younger age than most of the others. Read more
