Book Review: The Hat That Wore. . . London (children's book)

The Hat That Wore. . . . London, by Karen Leyden (Karen Leyden, 2018, 28 pages, $9.95, picture book for ages 6+)

A big red beret in London with plenty of adventures, eventually ending up in Paris in the second book, with more to come.

It all starts with a lost hat on a big red bus that is picked up by a little girl who wears it until the wind comes along and takes the hat on one adventure after another, in creative succession to show us the sights of London.

Crayon-colored illustrations help children remember the story of the hat in order and leave them wanting to learn about Paris with the further adventures of the hat - the big red beret.

Based on a true story, The Hat is a fun book, with two misspellings that may be difficult to catch.
