Jon Klassen’s Hat Box by Jon Klassen


You’re bored by llamas in pajamas. A pigeon throwing tantrums? How quaint. You’ve even gone to where the wild things are, and you know—know—every good picture book has got to be a little wrong. Well, no one does wrong better than Klassen and Barnett. They set my gold standard for picture books and the Hat Box is their magnum opus. The box, well worth keeping in its own right, contains the trilogy as well as a frame-able print from I Want My Hat Back. A must-have for every brave bookshelf.
