The Wild Hat is such a delight. Carolyn Schmitz has created a sweet anthropomorphic romp illustrated with her beautiful paintings of desert critters decked out in exquisite desert flora fashions. A competition to create the most wonderful wild hat emerges among the wildlife. A ground squirrel luxuriates in a cactus pad beret donned with Apache plumes. A cougar dons a chapeau of brilliant cactus blooms. A clever cactus wren helps a javelina girl create a stunning headdress. And there are so many more fashionable creatures to amuse us.
