Review by Publisher's Weekly Review

In Ezra Jack Keats's mixed-media collage conveys the miraculous transformation of Jennie's Hat (1966), from a plain, broad-brimmed number to something stylish, with a bit of help from her feathered friends. (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved

Review by Horn Book Review

Jennie's excitement at getting a new hat from her aunt evaporates when she sees how plain it is. However, with the help of the birds she regularly feeds in the park, she is able to decorate her hat to rival the elaborate confections she sees in church. Keats's clever use of collage makes Jennie's hat a wonder to behold, sure to captivate any little girl who loves to dress up. From HORN BOOK Fall 2003, (c) Copyright 2010.
