McPhail's signature line-and-color style makes this cozy concept book-turned-seek-and-find warm and inviting. So much more than just a hat rack--fun!

School Library Journal

PreS-K--A little raccoon, in peaceful pastel watercolors, has 10 hats: each for a different season or activity. Every page is its own vignette, where the little raccoon shows the reader their rain and snow and sun hats; bike, baseball, construction, and fireman helmets; and soft hats for art, sleeping, and being silly (in an oversized cat hat). But when the little raccoon stacks up all 10 hats at once and a gust of wind sends them flying, readers are invited to help the animal spot them all hanging in a tree, in the water, and on forest friends' heads. The story is told in just 22 words that often rhyme. VERDICT Gentle and whimsical, this is an easy reader that feels like a picture book, which makes it a valuable transition text for emerging readers. --Jennifer Miskec
