review 1: A bear realizes his hat is missing and goes to look for it. He meets a fox, frog, rabbit, turtle, beaver, deer and snake in his search, and asks each of them if they have seen it. None of them has. Then he realizes that the rabbit (who answered defensively that he would not steal a hat) was actually wearing it. He confronts the rabbit and recovers his hat. A squirrel happens by and asks if he's seen a rabbit with a red hat. He answers defensively that he would not eat a rabbit. The end.Okay, some parents may have concerns with this book. Not only does one animal eat another animal, but the bear's revenge is far disproportional to the rabbit's offense. It makes a lousy moral story. But it's not a moral story - it's a joke, and a more complex one than you usually find at th... moreis reading level. The irony of both characters defensively lying in a way that betrays their own guilt is screamingly hilarious to elementary-aged children (at least once they understand the joke). The illustrations aren't spectacular, but the well-crafted, meticulously timed humor is really worth reading. It's even told in simple enough words that early readers can handle it alone.
review 2: I want my Hat Back by Jon Klassen is a Theodore award winning book that describes a bear who has lost his hat. The bear goes around the town to find his hat and all the animals have not seen his hat. He then starts thinking about everyone he ran into and remembers that he saw a rabbit wearing a hat. He goes and asks the rabbit and find him with the bears hat. This story would be good for an early elementary classroom. With its simple sentences and pictures the story is easy to read. One activity I could do in my classroom is to have the students describe or write about a time they could noy find something or it was stole. Also while reading the book I would have my children explain to me how they might feel if they were the bear. Also some students could take the point of view of the rabbit and you could hold a class debate on who deserves the hat and why? less
