Synopsis
George wants to have a hat as fun as the Man with the Yellow Hat's yellow hat. But picking the right headgear is hard, and no one seems to recognize him in a fedora or Bavarian fishing hat. After a day of unsuccessful hat shopping, George takes matters into his own hands and makes a super hat from craft supplies and toys right at home. Using levers, pop-up techniques, and some trial and error, George engineers the Ultimate Yellow Monkey Fun Hat- fully equipped with food dispenser, prop launcher and animal inflator. But what will happen when the Man accidentally wears the monkey hat at his big presentation?
