大熊的帽子不見了!他想把它找回。耐心且禮貌的詢問他遇到的動物朋友狐狸、青蛙、兔子、烏龜、蛇,是否有看到他的帽子,但每個動物都說沒有。當大熊陷入萬分沮喪時,遇見了鹿,鹿提出了一個簡單的問題,引發了大熊的記憶,他能找到他的帽子嗎? This is a picture book debut by a rising talent that tells a cumulative tale with a cheeky twist, aided by graphically simple, and truly hilarious, illustrations. The bear's hat is gone, and he wants it back. Patiently and politely, he asks the animals he comes across, one by one, whether they have seen it. Each animal says no, some more elaborately than others. But just as it he begins to lose hope, lying flat on his back in despair, a deer comes by and asks a rather obvious question that suddenly sparks the bear's memory and renews his search with a vengeance. Told completely in dialogue, this quirky take on the classic repetitive tale plays out in sly illustrations laced with visual humour and winks at the reader with a wry irreverence that will have kids of all ages thrilled to be in on the joke. This title comes from an exciting new author/illustrator talent, previously an artist for Dreamworks Feature Animation. It features subversive humour sure to please children and adults. It is perfect as a read aloud.
