A Cookie, A Bear and their hats!

This morning I have two fun and adorable books that both happen to have something to do with a hat! My children and I all highly enjoy both of these books and are happy to add them to our bookshelf.

Angry Cookie 

By Laura Dockrill. For Ages 3-7, Retails for $16.99

This book starts off with the character interacting with you, when the book is opened it is acting as the sunrise which awakens the character from their sleep and starts them off on their day. The character is a cute little cookie who is in a grumpy mood and doesn't want to be bugged, but as you turn the pages he figures he might as well let you know why he is grumpy. After a long day including a bad hair cut, a hat that fits too small, the dinner being out of ice cream and more he comes to realize that everything isn't quite as bad as he thinks it is. At the end he is very happy you stuck around with him during his entire day and story about what happened and it helps cheer him up. 

I personally love the illustration in this book, everything is bright, crisp and attention grabbing. Plus all of the food walking around and talking is pretty cute as well. I think a lot of people can relate to this book because a lot of us have woken up grumpy which can negatively affect our day even if everything isn't as bad as we think it is. 

I Want My Hat Back

By Jon Klassen. For Ages 2-5, Retails for $8.99

This cute book follows a bear who is on a journey to find his lost hat. I think the thing I love most about this book is how polite and patient the bear is while asking all of the different animals if they have seen his hat. My husband and I have always worked on teaching our children how to be polite, they ask please when asking for things and say "No, thank you" or "Yes, Please" when answering others. In this book the bear always makes sure to say "Ok. Thank you anyway." when the animals tell him no, they haven't seen his hat. I really enjoyed and appreciated that!  During his journey he was even sweet enough to help out an animal or two when they needed it. So does he end up finding his hat? You'll have to read the book to find out. The book was originally released as a hardcover book, but they recently released it as a board book as well. It is the perfect size for little hands to hold onto and tucks into a purse, bag, or backpack very easily so you can take it with you on trips.
