When a little turtle comes across a lost hat, he is determinedto find its owner. He asks Mouse, and Rabbit, and even Crocodile ifit belongs to them, but they all say it isn't theirs. Whose hat canit be?
一陣像颶風(fēng)般的大風(fēng)把一頂粉紅色的帽子吹離開主人。一只擔(dān)憂的烏鴉尋訪老鼠、兔子、海獺、鱷魚與大象的家，試圖要找到帽子的主人。。。
全頁的水彩插畫以鋼筆與墨水一筆一畫的繪制出一只很有毅力的烏鴉尋找帽子主人的過程。當(dāng)文章進(jìn)行到宣布主人帽子是誰之前的這一段過程可以促進(jìn)讀者在閱讀時(shí)對(duì)文字的視覺辨別——重復(fù)的問題：“這是你的帽子嗎？”，以及接二連三的相同的答案：“這不是我的帽子”。也許可預(yù)料的結(jié)局缺乏驚奇感，讀者可能會(huì)從帽子的尺寸猜出主人，然而故事為年紀(jì)小的讀者提供一個(gè)讓人感到舒服的結(jié)局，讓孩子可以安心的閱讀。
