Story
Millie falls in love with a beautiful, feathery hat in the hat shop, but when she can’t afford to buy it, the shopkeeper produces another one from a very special hatbox. Millie leaves the shop with a magical hat that can be anything she wants it to be. The only limit is her imagination, which knows no bounds! She soon realises that everyone else is wearing a magical hat too!

Why we chose it
A picture book about the power of imagination brought to life by the vivid colour and detail in the illustrations.

What a young reviewer said
I liked that she had such a big hat and the most funniest bit was when the hat was imagined (Matilda, age 8)
