Trade Review'What's in Hattie's hat? Parents and children will love finding out in this engaging, interactive picture book by acclaimed author and illustrator, Satoshi Kitamura. Rhythm, rhyme, tongue-twisters and a colourful explosion of animals are all delivered with a magical flourish. A perfect book for sharing!' Alison Brumwell, BookTrust Storytime Prize judge;' Kitamura's inimitable illustrations are as appealing as ever, but pared down for the younger audience, with bright and bold shapes on a white background. A masterfully crafted story for tots, impeccable in its apparent simplicity, yet with all the elements of tension, resolution and surprise needed in a good story. Perfection!' Carousel;'This is a splendid piece of theatre. Satoshi's animals are presented with panache: the gamut of eloquent expressions is sheer genius.' Red Reading Hub; 'With big, bright explosive pictures, it's an amazing, happy story.' Big Issue North; ;It's playful, brilliantly illustrated and a whole lot of fun - just as a good picture book should be!' Read it Daddy
