Harold is this darling bear who feels special because he wears a hat while other bears don’t. When a bird takes his hat, Harold tries negotiating and trading, but with no luck. When he learns that his hat is being used for a good purpose, he realizes that it isn’t that hat that makes him special, it is doing kind things for others.
I loved this sweet book. It was fun to read the range of emotions - from proud to angry to satisfied. The teddy bear cuteness of the bear does make it less appealing for slightly older readers.
