A nice read.
More often than not children relate themselves with the characters of a good story. In such circumstances, reading fiction can help them to get inspiration from the characters. These stories often portray real life implications through anecdotes, and as such makes it easier for them to understand the complex aspects of life. Moreover, reading these stories at regular intervals can actually help them to develop a positive outlook towards life, which eventually proves beneficial for good character development.The Enchanted Hat is a delightful and charming book for the younger reader. Although, for the very young, it would be better for an adult to read it. This book could probably be read by children on their own around 10-12 years old.Author John Ulutunu writes in a wonderful, simple and imaginative style that will guarantee the attention of young minds. If you ever wanted to bond even more with your children or grandchildren, this would be a lovely story to share with them.It seems to me that this book was created with a lot of love and joy and it’s clear that the authors really enjoy creating such wonderful stories. Thank you for sharing with us the gift that you have obviously worked so hard to refine. We’ll be looking forward to seeing what’s coming next. A well-deserved five stars from us!

Cute Story!
What would you do with an enchanted hat? A hat that, randomly changes shape to show function. Would you put it on? Would you see where the hat takes you? That's what David does. A keeper of all things, he happens across a hat that changes his life forever!David is a collector. Whether a leaf, a rock, baseball cards- anything, he will find a place in his room for it and add to it as days, months and years go by. It's driven his parents into debates, but he refuses to stop. One day he happens upon a hat, stuck in the upper branches of a tree. But it's no ordinary hat. It fluidly changes. One second it's a clown's hat, the next a yellow hard hat. Once in David's clutches, he's sent on adventures that would make any collector's day!The Enchanted Hat is an enigma. I liked the book, but found two things wrong with hit. First, the cover, to me represented a childish tale. It said: I'm about a little boy who just wants to have fun and wear... well, hats! I also thought it was going to be a picture book. The actual story let me know my 12 1/2 year old could have read it. It's strange, but still very likable.The second thing I found wrong was, for a children's book, it's very wordy. It's over one hundred pages long, but could easily have been shared around fifty or so. It was in the fine detailing of David's thoughts; they could have been shortened a great deal, making the perfect read.Other than that, David going from rockstar to constructionist and even a scientist on safari was fun. It's what makes children's books amazing and enjoyable. I do suggest that if you chose this book, give it to your nine, ten year old instead of six or seven year old. There are no photos and a lot of conversations and words anyone younger may not have knowledge of.Cheers! I'm off to the next read!The Enchanted HatJohn UlutunuAmazon Digital Services, Dec. 2015102 pagesYoung ReadersAdventure, Fantasy, Pirates

A nice tale that will charm children
There are many amazon children's books that are fun and free. This is one of them. Kids will enjoy the story.It is about David who loved to collect all kinds of things, but never wanted to share what he collected with anyone. He was a loner.One day he discovered an old hat in his great grandfather's trunk. He took it out, put it on his head and went for a walk. It seemed that he took the wrong day to walk because the wind was very strong. It blew great granddad's hat off David's head. David ran after it and saw that it stopped at a huge oak tree. He ran to pick up the hat, when he saw something stuck in a branch of the tree, just above his head. He....Children will thrill learning what happens next.

Absolutely delightful!
Absolutely delightful! I got this to read with my nephew (thought he'd especially like it as his name is David, the same as the main character's). David loves to collect things, but he doesn't share his collections with others, he squirrels them away in his room and his mother gets a bit frustrated with what she calls his mess. One day David finds a hat in a tree, it's just the perfect hat to add to his collections, better than perfect because it keeps changing shape and color! He brings it home, puts it on his head when it is in the shape of a pirate's hat and finds himself transported to a pirate ship where he is the captain! He's off on a lovely pirate adventure including treasure and a sword fight. He goes on more adventures, each related to the shape of his hat, discovering a new friend along the way who appears in each of his adventures. I especially like the end where he learns to use his imagination to transport himself on new adventures.

For young readers
I received this item for free in exchange for an honest and unbiased review. I want to start off by saying this really is a cute book. BUT I thought it was for younger children. My kids are 6 and 3 and although they did let me read it to them off and on they were not fully aware of what was going on in the story every time I went back to read it to them. But I gave this 4 stars because it is a great buy and great for children that are able to read and want to start reading books on there own. There are about 10 chapters so definitely for one who enjoys reading.

Great book
I read a few chapters a night to my five year old and we both absolutely loved the book. She liked hearing all the adventures that the kids went on together. She has never liked reading kids picture books. This way a great way to spend some quality time with my girl while also engaging her mind and imagination and expanding her vocabulary.

Really enjoying it.
Although it is quite American, the children in my year 1&2 class are loving it! It has stimulated a huge variety of written stories and plays from them. Great language, which I have used as lessons themselves. I would recommend sharing it with children from the age of 5 but they will need support understanding some of the vocabulary. It can be read personally by children of the age 10+, or a child who is a confident free reader. Similar to the old 'Mr. Benn' cartoon.

It was good
I know this is a book for children. I occasionally like to read something with a little bit of wonder within, instead of the violence, sex and bad language usually in adult fiction. I enjoyed reading.

Great little book
A nice story and full of adventure and magic for boys and girls (and mum's and dads reading to them). Has scope for follow on stories involving the wizard and enchantress who we meet at the end.
