Hat Tricks is a delightful story that will appeal to both toddlers and children in Reception year. The book starts with an introduction to Hattie, a rabbit magician with a hat. Over the course of the book, we see Hattie put her magic to work as she pulls animals out of the hat. Each time, we are asked, ‘What’s in the hat?’
At first, the animals are small, but they become ever larger until the final one, an elephant, becomes stuck. The story ends with Hattie pulling from the hat a jungle, where the animals can find friends. It is a simple story, but there is a surprising amount to focus children’s attention on.
