Animals Wear Hats by Ronald Stoltz is hilarious. The story is written in rhyme and features all different kinds of animals wearing different hats. Thanks to Stoltz, I now know the names of the styles of all the hats. I read Animals Wear Hats with my four-year-old daughter and she absolutely loved it. Stoltz won her heart immediately after she saw the flamingos wearing hats. My favorite was the cat’s hats. That one actually made me laugh.
The story is easy to read and flows nicely because it rhymes. The wording itself is also not too difficult. My child was able to read most of it by herself. The illustrations are cute and colorful. When you turn the page, you never know what animal or kind of hat will be next. I had to look up what a tapir was since I have never heard of it. My daughter REALLY loved the pictures. After reading the story with her she wanted to keep looking at the book. This actually kept her entertained for quite a while, which is rather hard to do with a hyper four-year-old.
If you could not already tell, I thought this book was great! Any book that can keep my child entertained and actually teaches her a few things is a huge thumbs up for me. I do believe that her knowing the names of hats will come in handy some day. I will definitely be keeping this book in my collection since my child will not let go of it. An awesome book!
