I almost bought the book I want my hat back, by Jon Klassen the first time I saw it, around six months ago. It was already considered a bestseller and was on display in almost every bookstores around town. I really liked the illustrations, I thought the story was funny and different, but I wasn't sure my kids were going to like it.
Last week, when I saw it was still on display at a bookstore I finally decided to give it a go. The book is a success. Both my kids like it and we have read it several times already. The illustrations are very nice, the dialogues are simple but smart and the twisted ending is both amusing and ironic - very different from the perfect-ending-books we usually read.
