?Wonderful pacing and exceptional charm?.comedy gold. This is likely to become one of those well-worn ?again, again? books that are the joy of children and the sometime-torment of grown-ups. As with Rod Campbell?s perennially popular ?Dear Zoo? (1982), the ask-and-reveal pleasure of ?Hat Tricks? is unlikely to diminish for children ages 2-5 no matter how often you read it to them.? ?Wall Street Journal
