I loved the part where the bear saw the rabbit and didn’t realise the rabbit had his hat on. It was a clever ending.

It was funny because the bear asked the rabbit to see if he had seen the bear’s hat and the rabbit was wearing his hat!

I would recommend this book because it is funny because the bear lost his hat but then he went around asking people and he went straight past it because someone had stolen it. He didnt even notice.

Because bear asked if a rabbit had seen his hat and the rabbit said no but he had it on his head.

You should read this book because you can make really good noises of the bear. And also the reindeer. You can also make really sad voices for the bear because he lost his hat. It's really cute when you make really sad voices.

This book is funny and the animal pictures are good.

It's really good because I love the bear in it. He talks to lots of animals and asks them if they have seen his hat. So if you like animals you really should read it.
