I loved pretty much everything about this book–how the gentleman draws the boy into the story-making process so naturally and encouragingly, how the boy enthusiastically participates and, later, how he then teaches his new skill to a friend. Plus, I love cross-generational relationships. So important.
Do you have a young writer or storyteller in your family? They might particularly enjoy Mr. Zinger’s Hat. 🙂
Definitely recommend this one!
