Aunt Flossie's Hats
Elizabeth Fitzgerald Howard
Paintings By: James Ransome
Clarion Books: 1991
I decided to stick with African American Literature this week and this one was particularly interesting. It was about two children who go to grandma's house and eat cookies, eat crab cakes, and try on grandmother's old hats! These hats contain memories. What memory hides behind each hat? Find out and read Aunt Flossie's Hats!
I would give this story a four out of ten. While the hats have memories, the stories are not as entertaining for young children. The colors in the story are not very vibrant and it the story feels long. I would say that Goin' Someplace Special was the best realistic fiction I read this week. Please look for this book at a local library near you!
