A Call from a Hat
by Hiroshi Osada
illus. by Shinta Cho
Originally published in 1974, this is the tale of a boy who hates taking calls and his father’s striped hat, which not only has a habit of getting lost but also has a habit of calling to let him know. Rhythmical, comical, nonsensical and joyful, this simple story is brought to life with colourful, clashing illustrations by Shinta Cho.
