Miss Fannie's Hat  Aug 26, 2006
This enchanting story relays a simple yet most valuable message about sharing, being unselfish, and caring more for others than yourself. Fannie experiences, first-hand, the joy of giving and the often-unexpected pleasure you realize from it. In keeping with Jan Karon's other work, the text is finely crafted and carefully worded to create interest and hold the attention of the reader. The illustrations add to the charm and delight of the volume.
 
This book is a gem!  Jul 10, 2006
This book tells a wonderful story and demonstrates great worth and value of senior citizens. Uses lots of descriptive terms and illustrates some of the main character's memories from a long-past time period. Excellent for use in a Sunday School or Christian school setting.
 
A story for young and old  Jan 10, 2006
This short, well put together story is for children of all ages. It's very different from Jan Karon's "Tale of an Honest Bunny" or "The Trellis Seed." I read this to my six year old son. When we finished, he actually sighed and said, "What a nice story." I then shared it with my mother who called me crying saying it was beautiful. I highly reccomend it.
 
Heart Warming Timeless Delight  Aug 20, 2005
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!
 
A beautiful story about family, faith, and sharing  Apr 12, 2004
Every time my wife or I read this story to our children, we shed a few tears (of happiness, mostly) .... thinking of aging grandmothers, of faith, of the joy of sharing the things we treasure. This short, funny, story is simply the most beautiful children's book we have ever read. You must read it!
