Book Reviews of Miss Fannies Hat with CD Recor with CD (Audio)
Book Review: Heart Warming Timeless Delight
Summary: 5 Stars
I was, admittedly, already a fan of Jan Karon when I picked up Miss Fannie's Hat for my six year old daughter. Jan Karon amazed me once again with her ability to charm her readers with vivid descriptions, rich imagery, and humor. She used just enough references to the main character's faith to get her message across without being pushy about it. She once again showed how a character with grounded, honest values can make it work in her life. A great way to open a discussion of God to your young children, or reinforce your family values with an older one. Bravo, Jan Karon!
Summary of Miss Fannies Hat with CD Recor with CD (Audio)
Miss Fannie is ninety-nine years old. And very small. In fact, now that she's old, she's grown to be about the same size she was as a little girl. Now Miss Fannie's daughter takes care of Miss Fannie, instead of the other way around.Miss Fannie owns lots and lots of hats. And each hat is her favorite. But when she gives up her very favorite hat?the famous pink straw hat with roses?to help raise money in the church auction, Miss Fannie is in for a surprise.
Whether you're a child or a grownup, you'll fall in love with Miss Fannie and her hats and learn wonderful truths about trust, faith, and the rewards of unselfish love.
"Miss Fannie has lots of hats. And each one is her favorite." At age 99, Miss Fannie has much history--and even more hats. She was wearing her green velour hat when she witnessed a terrible flood in 1916. Her wide-brimmed felt hat with the gleaming black feather reminds her of the hawk she caught to keep it from killing her hens and biddies. But her pink straw hat with silk roses truly is her favorite. For 35 years she's worn this hat to church every Easter Sunday, and "it always makes her feel brand-new, like Easter itself." She's not the only one who thinks it's special. When her handsome young preacher asks her to donate a hat to the church auction, Miss Fannie knows what she has to do. She takes a deep breath, thinks of her favorite verse from the Bible, "With God, all things are possible," and wraps up her pink straw hat. But she doesn't realize just how much is possible until the Easter Sunday after the auction.
Jan Kuron, popular author of the bestselling series for adults, The Mitford Years, as well as the children's book, Jeremy: The Tale of an Honest Bunny, crafts a pleasing story of a charming woman (based on Kuron's own grandmother) who reaps the sweet rewards of her generosity. Toni Goffe's warm, cartoonish illustrations will make readers smile. (Ages 4 to 8) --Emilie Coulter
