You Must Bring a Hat! by Simon Philip

This is a silly book with great pictures. It all starts with an invitation to a party that requests the invitee to bring a hat. A simple request but he doesn’t have a hat and so begins an adventure in finding a hat and obeying the other surprising and unusual rules that pop up.  The craziness keeps building until the very end when he finally gets to join Nigel’s birthday party.  I love the silliness of this, the pictures, and if you look hard, you discover how the entire situation could have been avoided. However, if you did then you would miss the fun.

You Can Read by Helaine Becker and Mark Hoffmann

“You can read in the classroom, you can read in the park”… indeed!  Kids will discover that reading is an adventure that can take them anywhere!  I love this quote on the back of the book: “Books are awesome, and so are the people who read them.”
