Reviews for I Want My Hat Back
Charming, Sarcastic & Repetitious
Here, Klassen has delivered a classic picture book.
With a beautifully simplistic narrative, hysterically emotionless characters, and wonderfully dark undertones that entertain Mum & Dad.
The text is character colour coded and highly stylised grammatically.
I can't help but compare these characters to a Wes Anderson cold open.
Kids love the slow thinking and repetitive language.
Adults love the subtle sarcasm and demise of the antagonist.
Simply charming. Have bought it three times since it's release. by Kenneth Ogilvie
