Overview / 简介: |
| A boy and his mom happen upon a lone hat in the middle of the park. It’s bright red, and fits Henry just right. Turns out, Hat has a ton of important uses! It shields the sun. It doubles as a sled or a boat. It even fights crocodiles in Africa. . . . But what about Hat’s owner? Maybe he or she needs Hat even more than Henry does. Henry’s imagination may have run away from him, but in the end, his heart knows the right thing to do. An arty picture book about a boy and his imagination, Hat inspires readers to revel in the power of creativity. |
From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
| Thrilled when he finds a big red hat on a park bench, Henry imagines all the ways he will use it. He starts off small: it can keep off rain and sun. Then he imagines using it to perform magic tricks on stage, as a boat sailing far away, and as a sled racing through the snow. Even more dramatic, the hat will save his life when he rams it into a crocodile’s jaws. But his mother asks him, “What if someone else needs that hat?” Henry goes back and revisits the scenarios: a sad magician is on stage without props; an island castaway burns in the sun; and in a hilarious double-page climactic spread, an explorer’s head pushes out from the belly of a crocodile. In his first book as both author and illustrator, New Yorker cartoonist Hoppe stays true to the child’s viewpoint, from the everyday details to the wild imaginative play, and his ink-and-brush illustrations, in elemental shades, add to the fun.

Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| Henry and his mother were passing by a park bench when he spotted a large, red, wide brimmed hat that someone left behind. His eyes lit up as he reached for it. His mother looked a tad concerned, but not because he was going to pick it up, but because she was probably sorry that someone lost it. He threw the hat on top of his head and a toothy grin lit up his face as he asked, "Can I keep it? Hat would be so cool!' His imagination began to go wild just thinking of all the interesting things he could do with a big, red, wide brimmed hat.
He could use it to keep off the sun and rain. Naturally hats are great mouse catchers. If he was a magician and had a hat like that it would be quite something for show and tell! It could be made into a sailboat or a sled (whoosh down the hill!). He could even shove it into a crocodile's mouth before he got eaten up. He could be a . . . "But, Henry, what if someone else needs this hat?" He let the hat flop to the ground while he soberly looked at his mother. He began to think of all the things that would happen if he didn't have that hat. Why, he would be nothing but a lump inside that crocodile. Was he going to leave the hat behind on the bench?
Everyone knows that the imaginations of little ones can sometimes go wild, even over finding something inconsequential like a hat. This book was really adorable and quite amusing, especially when Henry wasn't there to catch on the mice with the big red hat and the racing mice terrified grandma. The colors in the artwork are not boldly colored, but the drawings of Henry and his imaginary scenarios are very appealing. I enjoyed this little story and I think you'll enjoy it as well, especially if you have an imaginative preschooler like Henry! |
