A New York Times Best Illustrated Children's Book of 2011

A picture-book delight by a rising talent tells a cumulative tale with a mischievous twist.

The bear's hat is gone, and he wants it back. Patiently and politely, he asks the animals he comes across, one by one, whether they have seen it. Each animal says no, some more elaborately than others. But just as the bear begins to despond, a deer comes by and asks a simple question that sparks the bear's memory and renews his search with a vengeance. Told completely in dialogue, this delicious take on the classic repetitive tale plays out in sly illustrations laced with visual humor-- and winks at the reader with a wry irreverence that will have kids of all ages thrilled to be in on the joke.

doggy toy chicken leg
Color: Yellow - Fried Chicken Leg
I bought this chicken leg toy for my dog and it quickly became one of his favorites. The yellow top part has two different sections — the very top makes a crinkly sound like paper when he bites it, and the middle squeaks when he chews or presses on it, which really keeps him interested. The white bottom part is super soft and easy for me to hold, so it’s great for playing tug or just interacting with him. The size is perfect for small dogs, but it might feel a bit small for larger breeds — that said, the material quality is really nice. Overall, it feels well made, fun, and keeps my dog entertained without getting bored. Definitely a good buy.

Fun, engaging, and cute toy for dogs!
Color: Yellow - Fish Skewer, Color: Yellow - Fish Skewer
I got the fried fish toy for my dog. So far, he really enjoys the squeaking noise and comes running every time he hears it. The toy material is pretty thick and is holding up well during playtime. The size of this toy is perfect for my small dog but it might be a bit small for larger dogs. Overall it's a fun and super cute toy for my pets that's become a favorite!

Fun enrichment
Color: Yellow - Fish Skewer, Color: Yellow - Fish Skewer
Bought this to keep my dog busy while I’m out, and surprisingly it works. It’s soft, lightweight, and he was interested right away. Hiding treats inside turns it into a sniffing challenge that keeps him occupied longer than expected. The squeaker does its job, and the material feels gentle, but this is not for heavy chewers. If your dog destroys toys for sport, proceed with caution. Overall, it’s a fun enrichment toy that helps with boredom. Great for light to moderate play and dogs who don’t choose violence every day.

Really cute and great for photos
Color: Yellow - Fried Chicken Leg, Color: Yellow - Fried Chicken Leg
This drumstick plush toy is super cute and looks great in pictures. My dog liked it right away and keeps carrying it around. It’s soft, lightweight, and the size is just right. We’ve already taken a few fun photos with it, and it would also make a nice little gift for someone with a dog. Simple, well made, and definitely worth it.

Don't Bother Unless You Have Something The Size of a Chihuahua
Color: Yellow - Fried Chicken Leg
Title is definitely deceiving. We have 2 Pitbulls and a Bull Terrier. They simply looked at this thing and it blew into pieces. These are more for smaller dogs. I wouldn't even say medium. It was just a big disappointment. I was excited to give them this toy, until it arrived and I saw how small it was.
