When it lands on people's heads, they turn into animals! The rhyming text begs to be read aloud and encourages children to guess what kind of animal each person will turn into. Tricia Tusa's illustrations are fun although it's not my favorite offering from her.

I have to say this is one of those few cases where I felt a bit too "old" to fully enjoy this particular "children's" book, although I think my five-year-old self would have had a hoot with the rhymes and trying to guess each animal Sep 09, Mir rated it liked it. In 4th grade we read a story about a funny hat. But it wasn't really about a hat, it was about the dangers of marijuana!
There wasn't a metaphor or anything, it was like someone wrote a few pages about a teenage boy secretly smoking pot, and every time the term came up it was replaced with the word "hat". Eventually eventually being almost immediately, because this was very short the kid's little sister found his hat in the closet and put it on, and got all dizzy. Then the boy felt bad and sto In 4th grade we read a story about a funny hat. Then the boy felt bad and stopped being a pothead hat-wearer.
I think he also got redeye at one point, too. Weed is bad! Besides, weed is so 10 minutes ago. All the cool kids take hallucinogens wear magic flying hats these days.
And you know the author is down with the hip young folks because she uses the word "old" a lot in a somewhat pejorative sense. I would've been quite upset had my mother been transformed into a kangaroo before my very eyes. Don't take drugs hats from strangers, mothers! Your children need you in human form! Sep 30, Luann rated it it was ok Shelves: picture-book , I guess I just don't get the point of this one.
It's cute enough - love the illustrations! Where did the hat come from? What made it magical? Does the boy--I mean, giant wizard--go around all the time leaving red spotted eggs that hatch into weird-looking chickens? And if so, why? And what does that have to do with the magic hat? Maybe the whole thing took place in the boy's imagination or in a dream?
If so, I think I would like it better. I usually really like Mem F I guess I just don't get the point of this one. I usually really like Mem Fox, but this one just doesn't do much for me. I do need to add that I enjoyed seeing the people turned into an animal that looked a lot like their human self by the magic hat. That part was fun. Apr 04, Tanya Willis Anderson rated it really liked it Shelves: library , read-in , children. Cheerful illustrations carry this song-like story in rhyme from page to page; a magic hat spins through the air and lands on the heads of different animals, ending up to rest on a wizard.
Whimsical and fun - surely a picture book that would entice a young child. Aug 28, McKenna Ruedinger rated it liked it. I loved the illustrations in this book and Mem Fox did a great job of creating a storyline that is fun for everyone! View 1 comment.

One day, out of nowhere, a magic hat flies through the sky and lands on the head of a crank-looking old man, who is immediately transforms into a toad. The hat flies off the toad's head and lands on another person, who is transformed into a baboon. The wind picks the hat up again, and the magic continues. Kids will enjoy guessing what animal they'll see when they turn the page and seeing the transformation of the people. Another goodreads user can't remember who mentioned that she read this to One day, out of nowhere, a magic hat flies through the sky and lands on the head of a crank-looking old man, who is immediately transforms into a toad.
Another goodreads user can't remember who mentioned that she read this to kids then asked them to decide what they think they'd turn into. I think that would be a fun follow-up to reading this one. I will look at anything she's illustrated. Aug 30, Candice Lemon-scott rated it it was amazing. This is one of my favourite picture books for children and it was a pleasure sharing it with the pre-school kids at Smarter Kids and Preps at QIC during Book Week.
One of Mem Fox's greatest talents as an author in my humble opinion is her ability not only to excite children's imaginations but also to take the reader on a guided, rhythmic journey. This book is especially clever in the way the words create movement.

Another clever device is the use of rhyme to enable children to guess what animal the magic hat will change the next character into, thereby drawing children into the storytelling process.
Definitely a page turner that kids respond well to. Jan 05, Jennifer rated it it was amazing. A big part of my rating for kids books is readability. If it doesn't flow well I get annoyed, since I generally have to read it thousands of times. But this is rhyming without being annoying and my kids love the thought of people turning into animals and then back again. Mar 14, Kate rated it it was amazing. This book is perfect for children just learning how to read.
They can predict what will happen next with both the pictures and the rhymes. This is a fun book to do a writing activity and have children draw what animal they would turn into if the magic hat landed on them.
Mar 13, Ina rated it it was amazing Shelves: storytime-reads , srppaws-to-read. A small blue hat appears and floats through a town landing on random townsfolk and turning them into animals! Simple rhyming text and joyous illustrations tell this imaginative tale, with a happy ending. My story time audience loved this one.

This book followed a magic hat that went around changing people into animals. The rhyming was fun and easy to follow making it perfect for a child to follow along and "fill in the blanks. Dec 06, Angie Munoz rated it it was ok Shelves: picture-books. Leaves children wondering where the hat will go next. Dec 03, Jcraig2 rated it really liked it Shelves: organization , modern-fantasy-science-fiction. Bookshelf Mentor Writing Trait: Organization- This book series is a great way to introduce young writers to the concept of organization in a story.
In the book, the writer writes the story in a way that makes it easy for the reader to understand the story and make predictions about what comes next. I think a great way to use this book in a classroom to teach the writing trait of organization is to being by reading the book aloud, but not all the way.
Have students make a prediction about what might happen in the story by writing their own version of what happens next. Then have students come back together to see if they were right about any of the predictions after finishing the book. From there, I would have students work together in groups. They would be given a writing prompt for the beginning of a story and then asked to create a what happens next version together as a group.
I would then have all students share their stories. I would connect this activity to the idea that sometimes readers have predictions of what will happen in their own heads and as writers we are to paint a picture of what's happening in our own heads to help the reader connect their thoughts to the story we want to tell. Sometimes the reader's picture and predictions may make a more interesting story so we should listen to our readers' ideas and not get stuck on one way of writing.
Other suggestions: This book is also a great book for talking about order of events in a book. I would ask students to do a quick 5 finger retell to a partner after reading the book completely as a read aloud to practice retelling skills.

In this book, a magic hat appears.
The magic hat bounces from head to head, turning the people underneath it into animals. Then, a giant wizard appeared that made the hat stop.
