About this book
A bear sets out in search of his missing hat. Along the way, he asks all the animals he meets if any of them have seen his hat. They all say no… but one of them is lying.
Told in a refreshingly deadpan manner, this quirky and distinctive picture book from US author and illustrator Jon Klassen will delight young readers. Beautiful and stylish illustrations, in a palette of muted colours, provide the perfect complement to the understated text. A future classic.
