It’s lively pace gathers momentum as different people are introduced, each being turned into an animal after the magic hat lands on their heads. Using rhyme and repetition, reading this picture book aloud is like dancing through a travelling carnival. Children will love the colourful cast of characters such as a Kangaroo, a Bear and a Baboon, but most of all the movement and spontaneity of the Magic Hat that ‘moves like this’ and ‘moves like that’. Mem Fox has created a lively and memorable character out of a simple hat, in the vibrantly illustrated picture book The Magic Hat. Babies and toddlers, early childhood (0–6 years) ![]()
