A Publishers Weekly #1 bestseller, Jan Brett''s heartwarming story of Hedgie the hedgehog''s misadventures in the snow has become a family favorite.

When Lisa''s woolen stocking flies off the closeline, Hedgie can''t resist poking his nose in. He tries to pull it out, but the stocking is stuck on his prickles. At first the other animals laugh at the sight of him, but when they realize they might like something to keep their heads dry and ears warm, too, even more silliness ensues.

Like its companion The Mitten, The Hat is now available as a wonderful board book to share with young children.

"Brett''s signature art introduces animal characters as endearing and expressive as those who congregated in her earlier book''s expandable white mitten." —Publishers Weekly

"A clever and appealing picture book. . . . The pictures, story, and subject matter make this a natural for sharing aloud." —School Library Journal

Industry Reviews

"A clever and appealing picture book . . . . Brett's illustrations are done in her trademark style of highly detailed depictions of her characters and a creative use of borders. . . . The pictures, story, and subject matter make this a natural for sharing aloud."--School Library Journal

"In a companion book to Brett's The Mitten (1989), a little girl decides to unpack her winter woolens from their decorated chest and hang them out on a line to air before winter comes. . . . The satisfying story celebrates the cozy hearth, home, and barnyard of picturesque Scandinavian country life, frozen in time. Brett's somber tones of pre-winter are enlivened by the intricate, colorful clothing; her fine, independent heroine is in charge of the story, and the inventive little hedgehog triumphs as well."--Kirkus Reviews
