5.0 out of 5 stars A favorite of mine for years!, February 7, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Jennie's Hat (Paperback)

I was thrilled to see that "Jennie's Hat" was once again available. I first "met" Jennie in the library of one of the elementary schools that I served as an art teacher. I liked the story and loved the illustrations which feature clever and colorful collages. It was the collage illustrations that led me to adapting an introductory collage lesson that I've presented to my fourth graders for years. It became a lesson that I always looked forward to as the children really enjoyed both the story (which I modified slightly to include children in the class) and the art activity derived from the story. The lesson evolved over my 32 years in elementary education but the story of "Jennie's Hat" has remained a timeless constant. I am ordering a copy of the book as a gift for my student teacher who will hopefully carry on the activity. Carl A. Hess Art Teacher Hamburg (PA) Area School District

My daughters and I love the pictures in this book. It is sweet, beautiful, and a lovely story. We especially love the birds! We recently bought this book for a friend who was diagnosed with cancer and had a hat party where she received all sorts of hats and everyone wore a a theme hat to support her in her fight.
I am happy to report that she has made a miraculous recovery. Along with my prayers, I made a hat fashioned to represent this book's hat and a Jane Austin style hat and I decided to send this book to her. I hope she enjoyed it as much as we do.
