I WANT MY HAT BACK

The I WANT MY HAT BACK read-along and CD is a satisfying experience worthy of repeated listening. One determined bear travels through his neighborhood querying friends as to the whereabouts of his lost red hat. The original and genuine response of each creature is a credit to the multiple narrators. Tone, speed, and inflection are used to provide distinctive personalities for the turtle, frog, snake, and rabbit. The accompanying orchestration complements the narration and provides both leisurely interludes as the bear seeks out his friends and extended time for the listener to examine the illustrations. An interview with Jon Klassen completes the production. A.R. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2013, Portland, Maine [Published: SEPTEMBER 2013]
