I Want My Hat Back!

We read I Want My Hat Back today, and here were our initial thoughts:

TEAM BEAR

•  “Bear! Cause I like being tall and strong!” ~Ivy
• “Bear because I would be mad too. And if I were a bear, I would eat him.” ~Anthea
• “I vote for the bear because he got mad because the rabbit took his hat.” ~Alejandra
• “Team bear because bear wants his hat back and maybe the rabbit knew about the hat but he didn’t want to give it back to the bear.” ~Juan
• “Team bear because they’re awesome!!! And they’re stronger and faster.” ~Vy
• “I pick team bear because I would be mad if someone took my hat too and I would want it back.” ~Kyle
• “I go for team bear. Why? Because they all swim to catch fish.” ~Carlos
• “I pick team bear because the bear just wanted his hat back and because bears have claws.” ~Frankie
• “I pick team bear because bears are funny and I like bears so much. But in the book it was funny and the rabbit was too.” ~Vashti
• I vote for bear because he remembered about his red hat that he knew it was his, he said to the rabbit. That’s why I go for bear because he is smart.” ~Kevin
• “I want to be on team bunny because it was so funny ’cause bunny had a cool hat. He was just standing there.” ~Jeffrey
• “Team bear because bears are bigger and better.” ~Antonio (here he included a picture of a bear with his toothy mouth open, saying “BEARS ARE BIGGER AND BETTER”)
• “I vote for rabbit since he could get revenge in his stomach. Also maybe since rabbits have fur, maybe bear is going to get a hairball. Or rabbit could jump out of bear’s mouth when he put him in his mouth to eat him. Also, rabbit could jump out of bear’s claws or paws. I think bear is a big old jerk because he ate the rabbit just because the rabbit took his hat. If I was bear, I would just say, ‘Can I get my hat back?’ So I’m just saying bear is a big jerk.” ~Eduard
• Team bear because after the bear ate the rabbit the rabbit was not seen on the book.” ~Vincent

TEAM RABBIT

• “I am team rabbit because he can get revenge in the bear’s stomach. Also he is like me in a way because he is sarcastic like me and funny. He was like, ‘What hat, I haven’t seen a hat, what are you talking about’ and bear is not that bright because he just noticed that the rabbit has his hat.” ~Thessalonia
• Team rabbit because if the bear ate him he would go to heaven with God.” ~Xochitl
• Team rabbit because he had the hat but he didn’t know it was bear’s — probably he found it in the floor. I don’t know why bear ate him.” ~Leonel
• “I vote for team rabbit because he probably did not know whose hat it was and also he was trying not to let the bear know. It was like he was hiding it. I really liked the way he did that.” ~Arianna
• I pick team rabbit because he did not even know that he was wearing the hat. Well, he did, but he tried to get away with it!” ~Savanah
