Like Hat by Paul Hoppe.
This humorous, imaginative picture book beautifully illustrates empathy without doing so in a heavy-handed fashion. Very well done and very much enjoyed by Miss A., just shy of 4, who had quite a few questions about the crocodile and the explorer scenario (a classic) including, "Can he still talk inside of there????"
Caps for Sale, The Cat in the Hat, and Jan Brett's The Hat, are among a few well-know and well-loved titles featuring les chapeaux, and Hat, geniusly simple, is destined to join their ranks.
