The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins is a good read-aloud. It will tickle your funny bone. Poor Bartholomew gets in trouble with the king for not removing his hat as a sign of respect. As Bartholomew tells King Derwin, he has removed his hat. However, there is also another hat on his head, and when he removes it, there is another hat under it, and on and on and on. The king calls in all kinds of experts to try to figure out a way to remove the hats. They can't. The king is so angry, Bartholomew is afraid for his life. However, as he removes each hat, each one becomes fancier than the one before, with surprising results. I recommend this picture book for four- to eight-year-olds.
