Picturebook Friday
I Want My Hat Back by Jon Klassen Possibly, one of the best picturebooks I have seen in years. Truly. I was lucky enough to get an autographed copy of this book at BEA last year. And not an ARC. An Honest-to-Goodness hardcover copy - with an autograph!! Totally psyched. Still am, apparently. I … Continue reading Picturebook Friday
