Harry Hartog's review

Jon Klassen's magnum opus I Want My Hat Back (2011) is the single greatest, most daring pieces of comedy literature ever produced. It gives the reader a unflinching insight into the flaws of man but masterfully weaves in the dynamics of nature's harsh realities. It follows apex predator Bear (ursus arctos) who is faced with a new earth shattering reality; his hat is missing. We watch as sick voyeurs of misery as our protagonist scours the earth for his lost headgear. But the villain of this story is no fool, his perfidious words a herring as red as the hat on his head. Rabbit. (oryctolagus cuniculus). Comparable, in my peer reviewed opinion, to such infamous psychopaths as Hannibal Lecter and Patrick Bateman. This story is a kaleidoscope of complex moral ideas that is wasted on your children. Review by: Maddy, Harry Hartog Burnside

A New York Times Bestseller and Best Illustrated Book

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 the bear begins to despond, a deer comes by and asks a simple question that sparks the bear's memory and renews his search with a vengeance...
