Overview / 简介: |
In this wonderful story, Pratt does some of his best work. The simple, slightly sardonic text relates Leon's heroic attempts to recover his favorite hat after it is whisked off his head by a gust of wind. His hat remains elusive in spite of Leon's energetic pursuit in a taxi, on his bicycle, with an express train, an ocean liner and through the Amazon rain forest. Ultimately, he does catch up to it and takes immense satisfaction tenderly placing it back on his head--until a gust of wind blows by an identical hat.
The text style is set in contrast to the richly detailed, exuberant, and expressive art work. Bold colors and slightly surrealistic images depict a series of tableaus that draw the reader into the humor and beauty of Pratt's art work.

Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| Although words are scarce in this lushly illustrated book, the adventure story is fascinating. We travel up mountains, through jungles, across fields and every other landscape imaginable with Leon in search of his hat. This book makes a fabulous gift for children and fanciful adults. The vibrant colours and detailed compositions will have you returning to Pratt's world again and again. But will you ever get the hat? |

In 1992 he was the recipient of the first-ever UNICEF-Bologna Book Fair Illustrator of the Year prize.
