Poor Mr. Frumble! After his favorite hat flies out the window, it is run over by Busytown's many cars and trucks. Lift up the extra-large flaps, and watch Mr. Frumble's hat get bigger and bigger -- and flatter and flatter. Mr. Frumble is in for his BIGGEST surprise ever!


Mr. Frumble likes his green hat so much that he makes it a special little bed, right next to his own. So when a big gust of wind blows his hat out the window, he is quite distressed. Richard Scarry's oversized board book Mr. Frumble's Biggest Hat Flap Book tracks the pig's pursuit of his cherished chapeau through the streets of Busytown. Cameo appearances by familiar Scarry characters such as Lowly Worm will delight youngsters almost as much as the big flaps with their visual punch lines hiding beneath. (The hat being squashed by a road roller, for example.) Curiously inventive vehicles from a car shaped like a doughnut ("Doughn't They Taste Good!") to a toothbrush mobile are also sure to be a hit with the car-and-truck crowd.
