Illustrated by
Mark Alan Stamaty.
This story's narrator lives in a crowded, colorless urban world. When the boy finds a yellow construction hat, the useful item proves to be just what he needs. This reissue is a satisfying celebration of the power of imagination. Stamaty's busy, detailed (very seventies) cartoon line drawings are full of quirky, sometimes unexpected, often hilarious nonsense.
