Increase your child’s vocabulary, self esteem and awareness of social issues, while they enjoy a great story! Tilda Pinkeron’s Magical Hats does it all. Grades K1-4.

My Thoughts:

I do not have any children and my neice is 21 years old now, so I read this book for my own please and to give my honest review. Wow, what a pleasure it was! You do not have to have a child to enjoy it.

Madison Mae and her younger brother, Albert happen a woodchuck wearing a hat. His name is Samuel P. Hoppbottom, "Sammy for short". He's no ordinary woodchuck, he can talk. He tells the children that the hat is bulletproof helmet and that Tilda Pinkerton gave it to him to keep safe. It turns out that Madison Mae's and Albert's grandfather shoots at him every chance he gets.

Sammy told the children that they should visit Tilda Pinkerton at her hat shop and she would give them each a magical hat. I can't tell any more at the risk of giving out spoilers.

IMO the Tidler Pinkerton series of books, so far are destined to become classics. The writing is fresh and engaging, with a fun plot and wonderful characters. Children will have so much fun while growing their vocabulary at the same time. They will be having so much fun, they won't even realize they are learning! To make the book even more fun there are black and white illistrations for children to color in whatever colors they like!

I highly recommend Tilda Pinkerton''s Magical Hats, Book One. This is one for children to enjoy with adults or without.

5/5

I received this book for my honest review.
