Hamilton's Hats
Hamilton the Pig loves hats. He has big hats, small hats, floppy hats and feathery hats. He has so many hats that his mum is worried he is a very vain little pig. Little does she know that Hamilton's favourite hats are about to teach him some very important lessons . . .
What will Hamilton do when he meets a cheeky giraffe, a hungry crocodile and some mischievous monkeys who each want to keep one of his hats for themselves?
Hamilton's Hats is Martine Oborne's delightfully funny story with a warm message about sharing, perfectly complemented by wonderfully witty illustrations from Axel Scheffler, the award-winning illustrator of The Gruffalo.
