A picture book debut by a rising talent tells a cumulative tale with a cheeky twist, aided by graphically simple, and truly hilarious, illustrations.
The bear’s hat is gone, and he wants it back. Patiently and politely, he asks the animals he comes across, one by one, whether they have seen it. Each animal says no, some more elaborately than others. But just as he begins to lose hope, lying flat on his back in despair, a deer comes by and asks a rather obvious question that suddenly sparks the bear’s memory and renews his search with a vengeance. Told completely in dialogue, this quirky take on the classic repetitive tale plays out in sly illustrations laced with visual humour and winks at the reader with a wry irreverence that will have kids of all ages thrilled to be in on the joke.

I learned that stealing a hat is bad because they might eat you
I think this book is good because it has a bear that lost its hat and he goes around looking for his hat, and someone sees a blue curved hat, but his hat is red and pointy. The rabbit had his hat! I think this book is great.
I loved this book
I found it funny that the bear did not spot his hat at first
It is quite a good book but I didn’t think it was that funny.
It was a really good book to read and funny in places
Best
I liked it because he got his hat back.
I give it 3 stars. I liked the pictures.
Its funny
I liked at the end when he ate the rabbit then said to the squirrel ''No, why are you asking me. I haven't seen him. I haven't seen any rabbits anywhere. I would not eat a rabbit. Don't ask me any more questions.''
I liked this book because the rabbit stole bears hat and he was doing a sneaky trick on bear. It was a funny book
I liked that book because the bear thought he had not seen his hat but he actually had seen his hat.
This is a very funny book because there's funny looking creatures
All time favourite book
I liked the bear because he was polite, and I do not like the rabbit because he was telling lies to the bear.
I would tell someone else to read this book because it is a nice book with a funny ending.
Good
I saw the live show for this so I had to read if!
I liked when the bear knew who stole his hat. I would recommend it.
Brilliant story - great for children to predict ending.
I liked because a rabbit was wearing his hat. A little mouse came and said have you seen a rabbit wearing a red hat.
We think it's very funny, especially the animal who isn't helpful at all and doesn't know what a hat is!
So funny!
I learnt to not steal
Funny!
This is so silly I love the pictures too.
A quirky story about finding the red pointy hat, and the revenge of the main character.
It was so funny at the end!
My favourite character was the little cute mole because it just said what is a hat?
I like this book because it has a really good author and illustrator and This is not my hat
The illustrations are perfect! This book was funny with different voices
