One Monday morning, Horace Norton finds that a mouse has made a house in his hat. On Tuesday, there are birds in his bicycle basket . . . and on Wednesday, a squirrel asleep in his shoe!

What will Mr Norton do when, as the week progresses, the animals take over his bathroom, his bed – and even HIS BEARD?!

With a message of kindness and an accumulative text that begs to be read aloud, this is a future classic in the making.

"Mr Norton's New Hat has a fun, easy to read text full of amusing alliteration and rhyme... The illustrations are bold and colourful and we love the way that Horace's expression changes as the week goes by and he finds more animals."
