Mrs Honey's Hat

I bought this book to read with my children, having been attracted to the vivid colours and attractive illustrations. It's fast become a firm favourite in our house!Mrs Honey starts the week with a hat covered in flowers, cherries and feathers and as the week progresses the items are gradually taken and replaced; the cat takes a ribbon and replaces it with fish bones, the cow eats the buttercups and replaces them with a bell, the spider takes the lace and replaces it with cobwebs and so on. By her trip to Church on Sunday, Mrs Honey has a completely different looking and unattractive hat!As well as being colourful, this book is a great way to teach children the days of the week and there are a nice selection of animals to talk about too. The humourous ending is a real bonus!Worth every penny!

I’m learning Greek and I found this very helpful. Quite a challenge but frequently used phrases aid the learning process.

This is a largely unknown book but I got the puppet and it follows the ususal repetitive pattern involving the days of the week. It is a lovely simple story where one item is removed from mrs honey's hat and another less attractive one is put back in its place... much like Handa's Surprise only that all items a re replaced. Puppet is fab for junior classes and nursery/Montessori school. Trainee teachers could really impress an inspector with this one!

Our daughters had this book when they were young and now we’ve introduced Mrs Honey’s Hat to their children. A great book.

I work with children aged 2 to 5 and they all love the story, even though the youngest ones don't always understand it, or understand the humour. They all like the pictures and it is easy to read aloud. They ask for it again and again, and even my eight year old grandson found it funny. Bright clear, interesting pictures with lots to talk about in them.
