Book Review: I Want My Hat Back by Jon Klassen

Present from Hank
What is cute is that when I saw the episode title “I Want My Hat Back” and Laura spoke about the hat she was knitting for Hank I thought that was why the title was what it was. Then she did the book review and told us about the bear looking for his hat. Laura will need to read Hank the book when she returns the hat to the store. I laughed when I was trying to substitute Hank into the role of the bear and Laura as the rabbit who has the hat. Great episode. Hope SSK planning goes well.
I just ordered the I Want My Hat Back. I can hardly wait to share it with my students as we are working on inference. I also may use it to teach point of view. I laughed out loud when Leslie was talking about the fish-too funny!!
