Ho for a hat is about a young boy and his dog discovering history by wearing many hats. I would use it in the classroom as a 'try this hat on for size' lesson. I would either have the students create a hat based on a historical figure and give a small lesson or speech to the class about that person, similar to Trinity's biography day but in a smaller size.

Found a used copy . . . bought it for the amazing letterpress treatment and woodcuts. Z loved the look, physical feel of the pages, and the cadence of Smith's poetry. For me, the poetry took a backseat.

An intriguing story of a book of poetry meant to be a hoax. After reading the poetry, included in the book, I have to say I rather liked Ann Knish's work.

This book first appeared in 1961. It is an unusual combination of a hoax about poetry. It includes the story and the poetry.
