When I read an opinion piece last week on the decreasing length of picturebooks from Elizabeth Bluemle at Publishers Weekly, the books of Jon Klassen immediately sprang to mind, especially at this paragraph: “Recommended.” - J.Past Tense Game Holly Storck-Post at SLJ recommends these Jon Klassen books for use with older students in the classroom. “A variety of voices (including Daniel Pinkwater as Bear) enliven the simple text, and kids will giggle at Bear’s search and wonder about the rabbit’s whereabouts.” - Candace Smith, Booklist Tone, speed, and inflection are used to provide distinctive personalities for the turtle, frog, snake, and rabbit.” - Ann Ritchie, AudioFile Magazine “The original and genuine response of each creature is a credit to the multiple narrators. Narrated by a full cast, including Daniel Pinkwater as Bear, this video enhances the 2012 Geisel Honor Book by Jon Klassen." - ALA/ALSC committee "The simple drawings, gently animated, keep step with the toe-tapping music. “The animation in ‘I Want My Hat Back’ really captures the spirit of the book.” - Cynthia K. The tone, narration, music, and light-handed animation all come together to create a well-done adaptation of the original tale.” - Anne Bozievich, School Library Journal “Daniel Pinkwater expertly expresses the bear’s emotions, and the production’s spot-on pacing and twangy background music turn this seemingly simple story into a memorable one about honesty. Highly recommended!” - Midwest Book Review “Simple animation and charming music bring this delightful story to life.
