Whose Hat Is This?: A Look at Hats Workers Wear - Hard, Tall, and Shiny

Children's Book Review

"Why I chose this: I chose this book for my kids because the boys were tired of typical fiction books! They wanted something "real" and I wanted something that they would still understand! My Thoughts: Whose Hat Is This? was a really adorable look at community workers and the hats that they wear. The book is interactive too! Each job has a page with the hat in bright colors, and then the page following has the worker and the name of the job that they do. The kids had a blast trying to guess the hats before the page was turned. I have older children, and they still considered it completely worth the challenge! I was especially enamored with the fact that there are both men and women in each job. The girls were very happy about the police woman because there are three of them who have mothers in the police department! It was definitely a nice touch. After reading through this book, I also understand why it is rated from ages 4-8. Although the pages themselves have very simple wording, underneath each job is a longer and more in-depth description of that job. I would recommend this book to any teacher for use with their Kindergarten, First or even Second Grade classes! I'll also say that this is an exceptional book for the boys, they were entertained the entire way through. http://afanaticbookblog.blogspot.com/2010/06/childrens-book-review-whose-hat-is-this.html" - Children's Book Review
