Welcome to Litsy!

The illustrations in this book contain the use of many elements of design that help the pictures to help tell the story. There was intense red coloration on one page in particular in this book. The bright red hue allowed the reader to understand just how angry the character was feeling. The use of blank space was also present on many pages in this book, allowing for the reader to fill in the space themselves using their own words/predictions.

I believe this children's book could act as a great tool to assist in constructing and or building upon the concept of interfering, making predictions, drawing conclusions, etc. with young elementary students. The story ends without a clear coconscious as to what happened allowing the reader to use the skills previously listed to determine for themselves.

“No. Why are you asking me. I haven't seen it. I haven't seen any hats anywhere. I would not steal a hat. Don't ask me any more questions.“

This is an excellent book to read to children as you can review the bear is emotions. There are pages without words that leave it up for interpretation for the students. The ending of the story is left up for interpretation as well. Whether he sat on the rabbit, ate the rabbit, or the rabbit walked away. As a teacher, you can go over the bear's emotions and relate them to some of the emotions people feel when they lose something.

“I Want My Hat Back“ was published in 2011. This book is about a main character who is a bear, going around asking other animals if they have seen his hat. Every animal replies they have not seen his hat; however, it was on the rabits head as he asked the rabbit. Once he still cannot find his hat he gets upset. Finally, he recalls seeing his hat on the rabbit. The entire page gets red to show the immediate emotion the bear is feeling.

“Have you seen my hat?” “No. Why are you asking me. I haven‘t seen it. I haven‘t seen any hats anywhere…”

This book would be great for a creative writing assignment. Students could create their own ending as to what happens to the rabbit or create their own story with their own creatures.

I Want My Hat Back by Jon Klassen is a humorous book that follows a bear-like creature on his journey to find his missing hat. The illustrator uses neutral colors and round / oblong shapes for the characters but uses a bright red in a triangular shape for the hat. The use of shapes helps children see the story.

The red coloring is different from all the other pages and can really stand out to the students.

I would use this book in a classroom as an introduction to maybe how colors can explain different emotions. For example in this book, the color red is not only anger but also what the main character desires. It can also be seen as he is angry because he does not have the one thing he is looking for so that's why the color is the same.

“It is red and pointy and I HAVE SEEN MY HAT.“

I would use I Want My Hat Back in my classroom by reading it out loud then doing a creative writing activity following the reading. This book allows students to interpret the ending on their own. I think it would be cool to hear what students think should or would happen after the story. I would have the students write an extension of the story.

“Nobody has seen my hat. What if I never see it again? What if nobody ever finds it? My poor hat. I miss it so much.“

“I Want My Hat Back“ by Jon Klassen is a humorous book and story that allows students to look into the eyes of the main character to understand why he is feeling the way he is. The muted tones of the characters and the background pages allow for the pop of contrast when he is angry or when the item in question (the hat) is illustrated allowing for an easy image for the students to see.

I thought this would be an excellent book for me to read in my classroom because it conveys that lying and stealing are wrong.

The main character of the book is looking for their missing hat. They ask other animals if they have seen their hat, all say no. At the end of the book, the main character realizes that one of the animals they had spoken to was wearing their hat. They go back and retrieve their hat, but what happens to the animal who stole their hat? This book would be great to help students learn expressing emotions, solving problems, and prediction skills.

“I HAVE SEEN MY HAT“
This quote is filled with anger as the page with the bear is red and the bear's eyes are filled with anger. This page exhibits the anger bear feels in knowing that he has seen his hat.

I Want My Hat Back is a children's picture book written and illustrated by Jon Klassen. It was published in 2011. This picture book is extremely humorous and is told in entirely in dialogue between several animals. The book allows children to interpret the ending themselves and lets the readers feel like they are part of the story. The illustrations use color to portray emotions of the animals throughout the story. This book made me laugh!

This book was very funny and exciting to read as it left me wondering what the next page would be. I would use this in a classroom to have students write a reflection on the ending of the book.

“I Want My Hat Back“ by Jon Klassen is a fantastic picture book that uses multiple elements of design in order to tell an entertaining and question-probing story. Klassen uses simple illustrations and unique features, creates lots of space with color coded lines and pages to show readers the expressions and emotions of the characters within the book. These elements of design help portray the humorous message and keep readers wondering what happens

I Want My Hat Back by Jon Klassen was published in 2011. This picture book is about a bear who is searching for his missing hat. He makes his way around, asking every animal he meets whether they have seen it. The moment the bear begins to describe the hat, he recalls where he last saw it: on the head of a rabbit. The bear leaps to his feet and retreats until he runs into the thief and reclaims the hat.

I Want My Hat Back by Jon Klassen is an entertaining and engaging book for young children. This book explores how the bear is desperately searching for his hat. Along the way, the bear is puzzled about knowing where his hat went and searches long and hard for it.

Review:
The art in this book was used extremely well to portray how the “bear“ is feeling throughout the book; the colors behind the bear, the eyes with emotion, and even the placement of the text to portray how the bear feels throughout the book.
Blurb:
This book would be great in a prek-3rd grade classroom. It has a good amount of stress and the photos correlate so well with the text
Quote:
“Don't ask me anymore questions.“

“I HAVE SEEN MY HAT.”

I love the simplicity in the illustrations! The eyes alone really show so much emotion throughout the whole story.

This book was amazing! I love how sarcastic it is and how simple it is. Even though it‘s simple I feel that you still understand the big emotions that are represented in the book.

“I KNOW WHERE MY HAT IS“

This book by Mo Willems has the same artistic style as most of his other books. He is very minimalistic in colors, lines and shapes. This book had an interesting use of color by having most of the animals be brown or beige but the hat was bright red. The same color as the page when the main character was very angry. Children would be drawn to this book based on its minimalism and twist.

A creature is looking for his hat and asking all of the woodland creatures. He finally finds his hat.

Got a new hat from my local indie and I love it!

Awards:
E.B. White Read Aloud Award

This is a humorous book published in 2011, and it received the E. B. White read aloud award. It is about a bear trying to find his hat, and he interacts with different animals throughout the story. I would definitely use this in my classroom.

Props to book podcasts that recount childhood favourites, especially those run by people younger than me that make me realize all the fun books I haven't heard of before! ∆ Just getting started on a THICK horror book, which means I'll need to read it in fairly large chunks to get it back to the library on time. 50 pages of spooks and icks later, a charming, sneakily funny picture book is just the palette cleanser I needed. #picturebook

I‘m tickled to see my favourite picture book (tagged) in a library display under the theme “Epic Adventures.” 🤩

This is a MF book about a bear who lost his red hat and is asking a bunch of different animals in his community if they have seen it. This Theodore Seuss Geisel 2nd place winner would be good for a RT. https://www.candlewick.com/book_files/0763656003.btg.1.pdf This website contains cool discussion questions about the book that relate to setting, symbolism, and observations&inferences. A UDL strategy that aligns with this book would be 3.1,

I love this book(pub.2011). I think that it was very cute, simple, and great to follow along with. Aside from that, I love the illustrations in almost all of Jon Klassen's books. Overall, I think that this book is great and easy to follow along with.
Aside from all of the illustrations, I love the layout of how the book it written. It is witty and fun throughout. I always enjoy the simplicity of his books and illustrations.
“I HAVE SEEN MY HAT.“

This book is a Theodor Seuss Geisel Honor book. It is about a bear who lost his hat so he goes around to ask everyone if they have seen his hat. After asking a few animals he remembers he has seen his hat, on a rabbit, so he takes his hat back and eats him.

I would not use this book in my classroom. I didn't really enjoy this book. It reminds me of the “Are you my mother“ book.

“I love my hat“

I would use this book in a classroom of children from Pre-K to 3rd grade. It is a great picture book about animals. It is a simple read and one a young child would love to read. It is a good book to see if the children catch on and see if they see the red hat before the bear notices who has it.

“I HAVE SEEN MY HAT!“

This is a Theodore Suess Geisel Honor award-winning book and a “Best Illustration Children's book.“ This book is about a bear who loses his hat and is sad about it. The bear asks all his animal friends is they have seen his hat, but they all say no. He is sad he will never find it. Then he remembers the rabbit he asked is wearing his hat and he gets it back and is happy again! This is a cute and silly book to read to young children of any age.

Oh no! Where did the bears hat go? Bear went on a hunt to find his hat. He asked all of the animals that he ran across and asked if they had saw his hat by any chance. This cute, short RF book would be perfect for IR and RA. This book can be used in the classroom to teach students to have patience and to not take something that doesn‘t belong to them. #ucflae3414su19

The bear looks slightly alarmed to be a picture book pin hanging out with my YA fantasy pins, but if you've read This Is Not My Hat, you know the bear can hold his own...

Bear questions each animal looking for his hat and each denies seeing it including a rabbit with a red hat on his head. Sitting on my couch with a glass of wine, I cracked up when the bear realized he had seen his hat. Clever and funny. The rabbit gets his comeuppance. We‘ve owned this for a while and I had somehow never read it. #picturebooksatoz #bbrc #letterI
