Summary: Jennie's favorite aunt is sending her a hat, and when it arrives, it is not exactly what she expected. Instead of a fancy, flowery, frilly hat, she receives a plain hat. She tries to find a new hat: a basket from her house, a lampshade, and even a flowerpot, but they just don't work. Feeling frustrated and disappointed, Jennie is surprised by some of her friends, and her dream hat comes true!
