22 posts | 37 read | 11 to read
Hold on to your hats for the conclusion of the celebrated hat trilogy by Caldecott Medalist Jon Klassen, who gives his deadpan finale a surprising new twist. Two turtles have found a hat. The hat looks good on both of them. But there are two turtles. And there is only one hat. . . . Evoking hilarity and sympathy, the shifting eyes tell the tale in this brilliantly paced story in three parts, highlighting Jon Klassen s visual comedy and deceptive simplicity. The delicious buildup takes an unexpected turn that is sure to please loyal fans and newcomers alike."

This book would be a great way to have a discussion about friendship and sharing.

Published 2016
The simple, yet interesting illustrations in this story go perfectly with the narration. The story is about two turtles who found a hat, and they struggle to decide who gets to wear it. There are elements of imagination, curiosity, and humor that are engaging. The main theme that I interpreted from this story was the values of friendship and sharing with each other.

Mehso-so

#ReallyRandomFebruary Day 21: Full disclosure: I am not a huge Klassen fan. I know, I know: unpopular #opinion. The language is very simple – only one or two lines at most per full page spread; the art shows the trademark of Klassen: stark, minimalist, monochromatic. I am sure there is something here for most readers to enjoy, plus the mystery of what happens to the ‘found‘ hat in the end. My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-iqI

Smrloomis I ❤️ these but yeah maybe they‘re not for everyone 🤷🏻‍♀️ That‘s life. Good thing there are a lot of other books out there 🥳 5y
GatheringBooks @Smrloomis truth be told, i cannot pinpoint exactly what i do not fully appreciate about the series. i admire his other works, particularly the ones where he served only as illustrator, like Extra Yarn and tagged book. But the hat series, I find to be so-so, and couldn‘t dig what others are seeing. Maybe if I read it again in a few years at a diff point in my life, I will see it. 5y
OriginalCyn620 Never read this author. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 5y

Velvetfur What a great little story! I've always wanted to work in a library but there's hardly ever any vacancies and when they do come up they want someone with experience - how does one get experience?! 😂 6y

Shopping for baby presents. It's a hard job, but it had to be done. These all looked so fun. Klassen especially.
The toy is mine. Not for babies. 🦊

If you want to laugh all the way through a book, this F story by Jon Klassen is the way to do it. In this comical book, there are two turtles and only one hat. It would not be fair if only one of them gets the hat... I'll let you read the rest! An awesome teacher's guide for the entire hat trilogy can be found here: http://www.candlewick.com/book_files/0763656003.btg.1.pdf #UCFLAE3414su17

Chanelamber I can tell that this book is a funny one! I also like the link that you attached to this post - it seems like it will be awfully helpful in the classroom! Thanks for sharing. 😌 7y
DrSpalding You did Klassen proud today @SamanthaPuglisi! I hope everyone considers his books for their classroom libraries! 7y
tfundora This looks like an hilarious book! And your resources are great! 7y

I love Jon Klassen's books, and this new one is no exception. Two turtles find a hat... and obviously it looks great on both of them. What happens next? Goose loved it.

I say this is for the kids, but really it's for me. The final installment in the spectacular Hat series. The first two have been adored in our house from day 1.

I wrote about the conclusion to Jon Klassen's picture book hat trilogy for lit mag Quill & Quire. I am constantly amazed by how much he can express with just a shift of an eyeball.
