Boss of the Plains
If you do not know the story, look in Houghton Mifflin's fourth grade anthology. If you do not have that available, check out Amazon's site. The book is available there. You can get a good idea of what the book is about. Students have no understanding of the felting process. This video provides great background for felting hats.
