The Hat Full of Secrets by Karl Newson and illustrated by Wazza Pink is a delightful book. A short story from Little Tiger, this hardback has full colour illustrations throughout, including the beautiful end papers.

Henry has a secret. A big secret that he doesn't know what to do with. He talks to his grandad who suggests keeping it under a hat. But Henry doesn't have a hat. Grandad to the rescue - he loans Henry a hat to wear, and Henry discovers that Grandad has some secrets of his own.

This is a heart warming story filled with love, adventure, imagination and memories. The relationship between Henry and his grandad is very special and portrayed well. This would make a beautiful gift from a grandparent to a grandchild.

The language is lyrical and the plot points are fun, making it perfect for key stage one children. The illustrations are well pitched and enhance the story greatly. Bright and colourful, they bring a sense of life and add to the adventure. A great book, highly recommended.
