![]() ![]() (Summary from Candlewick Press.)ĭay One: The Text The first day we look at this book we focused on the text. Told completely in dialogue, this delicious take on the classic repetitive tale plays out in sly illustrations laced with visual humor- and winks at the reader with a wry irreverence that will have kids of all ages thrilled to be in on the joke. But just as the bear begins to despond, a deer comes by and asks a simple question that sparks the bear’s memory and renews his search with a vengeance. Each animal says no, some more elaborately than others. Patiently and politely, he asks the animals he comes across, one by one, whether they have seen it. ![]() The bear’s hat is gone, and he wants it back. Let's start with This Is Not My Hat, a 2012 Theodor Seuss Geisel Honor book. What? My kids writing dialogue? Yes, your kids can write dialogue. Hats off to Jon Klassen for creating two amazing books! I Want My Hat Back and This Is Not My Hat look simple at first glance, but they are packed with possibilities for helping your kiddos infer, question, study details in illustrations and even write dialogue. ![]()
