Magritte's Marvelous Hat

32 pp. | Houghton | April, 2012 | Trade ISBN 978-0-547-55864-6 $16.99
(3) K-3 After purchasing a bowler hat, artist Magritte (here a dog in a suit) finds that it has a mind of its own: it floats, hides, etc., inspiring the painter's best work. An author's note on the real René Magritte's art helps elucidate the ingenious concept; a few transparent overlays alter pictures with each turn, further demonstrating the imaginative principles of surrealism.
