Winter hats, rain hats, sun hats, magic hats - there are hats for any occasion! Mr. Brown loves hats and can’t leave the house without wearing just the right one. But on this day, every time he opens the door to leave, the situation changes, and Mr. Brown must change his hat accordingly. At last, wearing every hat he owns, Mr. Brown is on his way. Will he have the right hat? Find out when you watch the video read aloud of the book, "A Good Day for a Hat", written by T. Nat Fuller and illustrated by Rob Hodgson.
Speaking of wearing every hat someone owns, watch EGVPL's Ms. Courtney read the book, "Hooray for Hat!", written and illustrated by Brian Won. Elephant wakes up grumpy until he finds a surprise box at his front door. What's the surprise? A hat! Watch and learn how Elephant brightens the day of all his animals friends. Hooray for Hat!
Minerva Louise, a snow-loving chicken, mistakes a pair of mittens for two hats to keep both ends warm in the book, "A Hat for Minerva Louise", written and illustrated by Janet Morgan Stoeke.
When Lisa's woolen stocking flies off the clothesline, curious Hedgie the Hedgehog can't resist poking his nose in. He tries to pull it out, but the stocking is stuck on his prickles. At first the other animals laugh at the sight of him, but then they realize they might like something to keep their heads dry and ears warm too! See what happens in the video read aloud of the book, "The Hat", written and illustrated by Jan Brett.
"The Mitten", also written and illustrated by Jan Brett, is a classic Ukranian folktale. Follow the adventures of little Nicki, who loses his white mitten in the snow -- and the curious crew of woodland animals who happen upon it and have their mischievous fun, while the author reads the book.
Every animal on Farmer Bill's farm is missing one mitten. Investigate odd and even numbers while you unravel the mitten mystery in the book, "Missing Mittens", written by Stuart J. Murphy and illustrated by G. Brian Karas.
On a snowy day, Sarah notices that a little boy at the bus stop does not have any mittens. Worried that he couldn't join in the winter fun, Sarah knits mittens for the little boy, placing them on a tree at the bus stop the next day. Each day the children look for new mittens and every day Sarah knits new ones. One morning she covers every branch with bright new mittens for the children. Though she has used up all her yarn, Sarah returns home with a full heart. Find out what Sara finds waiting on her porch when she returns home when you watch the video read aloud of the book, "The Mitten Tree", written by Candace Christensen and illustrated by Elaine Greenstein.
What's even better than one mitten? Two mittens! Find out all the things you can do with mittens in the video read aloud of the book, "One Mitten", written by Kristine O'Connell George and illustrated by Maggie Smith.
