'What's in Hattie's hat? Parents and children will love finding out in this engaging, interactive picture book by acclaimed author and illustrator, Satoshi Kitamura.

Big Issue North; ;It's playful, brilliantly illustrated and a whole lot of fun - just as a good picture book should be!' Read it Daddy
