Summary of Professional Reviews: The Horn book online guide gave this book a rating of 2. They really enjoyed the "animation and design skills are evident on every page of this sly, subversive tale." This book has also won the Caldecott award for its "distinguished picture book for children."
Review by Madie Henderson: I really enjoyed this book. I found it humorous when the bunny was wearing the hat, but denies to every taking his hat, "No. Why are you asking me. I haven't seen it. I haven't seen any hats anywhere. I would not steal a hat. Don't ask me any more questions." Then, at the end of the story, the bear figures out who stole his hat then just expresses, "I love my hat."
This book would be useful when teaching… This book would be great for teaching about being honest and not lying. Teachers could also use this book to put on a play. The students could make a puppet show and create different scenes with the different animals the bear asks where his hat is.
