“If You Have A Hat” review

// February 19th, 2011 // BookReviews

“If you have a hat – put it on your head. If you have a bed bug – tuck it up in bed.” A silly rhyming picture book created especially for Kindle by award winning children’s author/illustrator Gerald Hawksley. Simple silly rhyming text and jolly pictures make this an ideal Kindle experience for sharing with children.

5 out of 5 stars
When my 3 year old daughter asked for an ereader last Christmas, she received an Android tablet with Kindle for Android (as well as other ebook applications). It seems that only recently have illustrated, color children’s books began to come to the Kindle. So I was elated to find an indie illustrated, color children’s book!

The cute, colorful pictures are great even for children that can’t yet read – they can guess the rhyme from the picture, as well as try to find the bird in each picture. The easy to read rhymes are great for new readers. The “story” itself is cute and kept my daughter hooked. This book also has much better formatting than any other illustrated children’s Kindle book I have seen.

If you have young kids, buy this book now!
