Reviews
reS-Gr 3-A small girl is walking and then sailing in a small boat with her father on a windy day when her hat blows away. The entire text is one long sentence: "The wind/that whirled/your hat/away/furled a flag/filled a sail/raced a boat-/tolled a bell/atop a church/chased some crows-/all the while you were/chasing/a hat." Litzinger's simple illustrations show the child and her dad chasing the bright orange hat across a rolling, hilly landscape and seascape consistently colored split-pea green. Gentle, subdued colors provide a good backdrop to the hat, which can always be found on the well-composed spreads. The triumphant youngster clutching her hat fills the concluding endpapers. Preschoolers and early readers will enjoy the contemporary illustrations in this windy tale.

Ages 2-5. What a busy thing the wind is. Just how busy becomes clear in this charming book about a little girl and her grandfather in pursuit of the child's wayward hat. As the wind sets the hat spinning and whirling here and there, it is also busy furling a flag, filling the sails of a boat, tugging at a kite, towing a cloud across the sky, bending trees, and tolling a bell. Blackbirds reel in the stiff wind, then land on telephone wires that the wind strums like guitar strings. Children will enjoy tracing the hat's journey from page to page as they develop an awareness that unrelated things go on at the same time. Litzinger uses the vivid greens and blues of a spring day in spacious compositions to depict the exuberance of a child and her companion on a windy day. Shelley Townsend Hudson
