Hats, Hats, Hats: A Dazzling Photo Book for Kids (Ages 4-8) About Identity, Culture, and Diversity (Around the World Series)

We all enjoy these books. My daughter is not yet two but she loves Ann Morris' entire series of books and likes to identify things in each photograph. The photos are obviously dated but I don't believe that lessens the impact of what the author and photographer are trying to do.As she grows, we'll continue to read these books, moving on from identifying simple items to talking about cultures, traditions, environments, geography, socio-economics, and etc. In the final pages of each Ann Morris book there are maps and descriptions of locations/subjectss for each page that allow readers to discuss where places are in relation to one another and what is really happening in photos versus what a young child (or adult!) might imagine is happening.I recommend these books for curious children starting at age 18 months and all the way up into the school years.

Taking the reader around the world to visit many wearing hats, the author Ann Morris and photographer Ken Heyman have created a timeless piece that will entice little ones to don a hat and enjoy the story! This item arrived quickly and efficiently. Many thanks!

You can tell from the pictures that this book has been around for a long time, but I like the message of it. In very simple language, it communicates that hats are worn in many cultures and for many purposes. My son had a long-time obsession with hats which is why I bought this book, but he still asks for it frequently even though that phase has passed. I am a teacher and I love the multi-cultural aspect of this book. Even though we live in the city and my son sees people from all over the world, it is different seeing pictures of different communities.

fun pictures than will prompt good conversation with a child

From 1993, this book is a little dated. The world does change a bit in 20 years. Still, the photography is beautiful and it is a great way to start conversations about how there are different places in the world and the people who live there do not have the same lifestyle as the one we live.

As a preschool teacher, I used this book in my 'All About Me' unit since we have several cultural groups represented in our group. We use this book again as we talk about winter and winter clothes. This a great book for a unit on cultures in addition to Ann Morris, "Families" and "Homes". We have our Children's Atlas at hand so we can quickly locate representative countries. Ann Morris books are a must for cultural awareness! highly recommend!

She is now 20 months old and love to see all the different hats! I would recommend this book for kids of all ages. Has a great anthropological undertone as well as great pictures for the kids and good captions.

Definitely a great picture book but it's just not for me.

An awesome book for hats around the world. Perfect for children or the fashion enthusiast.
