My grandson loves this hat.  It came with a Cat in the Hat tag that he carries around with him as well.  He insists that he runs faster in it.  He likes role play and this hat is clearly a match to the cat in the hat.  It is a nice toy with no moving parts, no computer animation, and no bells and whistles.  It is completely kid powered.  Also the weight of the hat is nice. It isn't too hot for indoor play and the rim is cleverly designed to fit different heads.
