Blue Hat, Green Hat
by Sandra Boynton
by Sandra Boynton
What it's about:
This is a wacky board book about colors and types of clothing. If you are familiar with Sandra Boynton, you will recognize her wacky sense of humor. The animals in this book try on different colored pieces of clothing, and some of them wear the clothes on the wrong parts of their bodies. One animal even wears all his clothes in the pool!
Why we like it:
This book is just plain fun. Now that my son knows where "a hat goes" and where "pants go," he thinks this book is silly and entertaining. He also participates in the reading by pointing out and saying the words for "hat" and "shirt." He sometimes says "Oops!" in the correct places too. It's possible my son is learning something about colors from this book, but the highlight for me is the laughs we share as we read it together.
Suggested Age Range:
We got this book when my son was almost 15 months old. He understood the humor then, and it's possible that a younger child would as well. Part of his current enjoyment comes from his ability to participate by saying the words for objects he knows. I think that he will like the book even more as he learns to recognize and say his colors too.

Yay-- the first book you've reviewed that we already own! This is a fun one! Have you read But Not the Hippopotamus by Boynton? (not smart enough to figure out how to do italics around the title!) I love that one's quirky ending!

We are also big Sandra Boynton fans at our house! We don't have this one yet, but I'll put it on our list :)
Em - No, we have not yet read "But Not the Hippototamus," but we will have to check it out from the library. We do have a great CD and book called "Blue Moo" by Boynton which I also recommend!
