Mr. Zinger's Hat

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Dušan Petričić. Leo befriends a behatted elderly writer who convinces him that he needs the boy's help--a story is "trying to get out" of the hat. (Readers will understand that the writer is actually goading Leo to tell his own tale.) The text is overlong but clever, like the art: Leo's imaginings alone are rendered cartoonishly, as by a child's hand.
