This was a super sweet and delightful! picture book. Mr Norton has a new hat, and a mouse takes it over, but then more and more animals come and take over his entire life. What will Mr Norton do? His solution is warm and beautiful. Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this.

This is a delightful picture book! The rhythmic, humorous text pairs perfectly with bright, cheerful illustrations, and the overall effect is fantastic. It's an excellent choice for both read-aloud sessions and independent exploration. In addition to just being fun and engaging, this story provides wonderful opportunities for children to practice making predictions, recognizing animals, exploring alliteration, and counting. I will definitely be adding this book to my elementary school library and can’t wait to share it with my youngest students!

I received an arc of this title from NetGalley for an honest review. A super silly book that kids will enjoy.
