Another fun story from Keats with beautiful illustrations and a good story, Keats is a master at his craft.

Jennie was so excited to get a hat and then it’s so plain that she is mad. She feeds the birds in the park. All the ladies have such amazing hats. Then birds alight on her hat with flowers and pictures and a birds nest and she loves her hat It’s wonderful. It’s the best hat in the story.
The artwork is pretty good. I love the paisley print Jennie is wearing and all the hats are so fancy. It’s not the best story, but I enjoyed it.
I didn’t read this to either child. It’s only my opinion today.

I enjoyed the story of Jennie's new hat, and about how she wishes it was more amazing. I can imagine reading it to a child who would be giggling the whole way through.

I read this to my little sister. It is about a girl and the search for the perfect hat.

This would be perfect for a Hat story time and craft. Jennie really wants a fancy hat, but what arrives from her aunt is very plain. By the end of the book her hat has been festively decorated by the neighborhood birds in repayment for her kindness in feeding them. Ezra Jack Keats will always be one of my favorites - his work is classic for a reason!
