We Found a Hat

In Year 1, we read 'I want my Hat Back' and this is a good follow on as the 'hat' continues to star in the story! From a teacher's point of view, I preferred 'I want my hat back' as we've completed more of a focus on it in Year 1.

Having said that 2 children said to me they really enjoyed reading this book in the book corner.

"I love this book as it is about turtles and I love turtles."

"It has turtles and I love turtles."

This is part of Jon Klassen's hat trilogy. It is quite different to I Want My Hat Back, though both rely on the children inferring what some characters are feeling and thinking using the illustrations. This story is about two tortoises finding a hat and deciding that as they both want it, neither should have it. In the end the value of friendship wins out over selfishness. Any child who enjoyed I Want My Hat Back will enjoy this.

I liked the bit where the tortoise said “nothing” and I also liked the ending.

I love the pictures because they are both together all the time and they both have a hat at the end, even though it’s a dream.

The chapters were a bit too short but it was a really cute story.

I kinda of liked this book because it didn't have much words to read and it was a bit boring.i would like this book to a bit funnier and have much more words on each page but it had good pictures.

I like how the turtles shared and l would like to have that hat

I liked how kind they were to each other

Enjoyed the story about two best friends who find a hat.

Will they share the hat?

The illustrations were good. It was easy to read. Fiction

The illustrations were good. It was easy to read. Fiction

I loved it especially when they watched the sunset

I am wi l f r e d wi t he r s . I love my mummy and we read this together taking it in turns to read each page. I love the turtles in the book. I love it when they sleep and the sun goes down

Funny!

I liked that it was similar to "the rock from the sky". Their dream was funny.

Very nice, very good illustrations and a nice moral of a story.

I like it because at the end they were dreaming together. It's more important that they are together than that they have a hat.

I loved the turtles. Another very funny book from Jon Klassen

Worst book ever!

I liked it because at first they found a hat and they had a dream about it

It was awesome and funny and was a blast and I love it so much.

They were wishing and they were thinking in the book. When they first found the hat was the best bit.

It is a lovely book to read.

I liked it, it was weird because the tortoise in the dream there was two hats but there was just one hat.

I liked the story

Simple, easy to read entertaining story

I laughed a lot at the tortoise that wanted the hat, even when he pretended he didn’t. I liked the ending, because he was a very good friend and left the hat behind.

i like this book because its all
about sharing

Easy for a beginner reader to read, with pictures which subtly add to the story.

It was funny because the tortoises were happy and left the hat alone because there was only one
