Summary from Scallywag Press
Hattie conjures an amazing succession of animals out of her hat, and for
a grand finale produces a wonderful habitat where they can all live!
Nayu's thoughts
I love bunnies, so naturally I wanted to see what magic Hattie would come up with. Before I read the book I had to smile: I'd gone to the library and borrowed another one of Satoshi's books, Comic Adventures of Boots who is a cat and so funny! So I knew I'd love Hattie's story.

| A must read for all cat lovers and owners |
Hattie pulls many things out of her hat, most I could predict what they were from the top of their heads which peeked out of the hat, however the end was something I couldn't predict or tell what it was! I hadn't actually read the book's summary, I wanted to review it solely because of the cute cover. It was such a beautiful ending, one I've not seen in similar stories. Satoshi's illustration style is a fun one, with bright colours, and there's great wit in the story itself. Pictures really are worth over a thousand words! Hattie seems so proud of her magic abilities, which she should be because squeezing all those creatures into the hat is magic - especially when one gets stuck! I'm looking forward to seeing where her magical career next takes her!
Suggested read
More fun can be seen in the picture book Martha the Blue Sheep by Gabrielle Yetter, Daro Sam, and Monnyreak Ket (Children's, Picture book, 10E/10E)
