# Very Good Hats - Hardcover

by **Emma Straub** (Author), **Blanca Gomez** (Illustrator)

**The first picture book by bestselling novelist Emma Straub, author of _This Time Tomorrow,_ this is a joyous, inventive, adorably illustrated read-aloud that will inspire kids to see ordinary objects in a whole new way.**

Some people think hats are fancy things you can buy at a dressy store, but that's just the tip of the iceberg. In this book, acorns and raspberries are snug hats for your fingers, and an empty pudding cup is a good hat for a stuffed bear. Pajama pants make dangly hats, books can be dramatic hats, and bubbles make very fine hats as well (if temporary). Readers will be delighted to discover that _anything_ can be a hat if you believe it is. Hats are everywhere you look!
