What some early buyers are saying about Hildie’s Hat Party:
“A delightful story about what can happen when we face a problem . . . get together… put on our thinking hats… and come up with an great idea!” (Jessica Johnson : http://www.goingplacesstudios.com)
“Hildie’s Hat Party is a charming story filled with lovely little surprises along the way. Even the pictures are filled with animal characters that leap off the page with their own story: ranging from Rocky Raccoon whose exuberant personality makes you want to befriend him immediately to the beaver whose long face reminds you of Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh. And there are countless others, including Hildie, as the pictures draw you into their world. As a reading specialist and retired teacher of 38 years, I highly recommend this delightful book to excite the imaginations and conversations of young readers!”
