Don't Touch My Hat! by James Rumford 2007
In the western town of Sunshine, the job of keeping things under control and civilized goes to Sheriff John. He depends greatly on his ten-gallon hat to help keep the peace, and round up the rowdies.
In the middle of the night, Sheriff John gets the summons to help in an emergency. He unknowingly grabs his wife's fancy hat, instead of his own, and high tails it out the door. He takes care of the robbers and the rustlers, and restores peace to the town, all before sunup. On appearing at his doorstep he realizes the hat mixup. He also comes to terms with the fact that it's his heart, not his hat, that helps him succeed.
The text is written in Western dialect and includes some silly punch lines that would make this a wonderful read for a group.
Appropriate for ages 4-8
