The Smart Hat: (Blue Early Reader)

Description

The Queen has ordered a new hat for her party but she gets a brown owl instead! Will she still be able to go to the party without her smart hat?

Cath's whole life has been about books. As a librarian, teacher, editor, community gardener (vegetable story-time anyone?) and now a literacy tutor, she aims to inspire a love of books in everyone. As a child, her fascination with stories was encouraged by a wonderful English teacher (Miss Storey!) local librarians and an amazing children's bookshop (The Lion and the Unicorn) where authors met their fans. Cath now loves sharing her own stories with children of all ages. She lives in Kent with her partner and a high maintenance cat. When not writing, she grows mutant vegetables on a windy allotment overlooking the sea. Author of: Bonkers About Beetroot, Meg and Rat and Puff! Puff!
