The Magic Hat is a 2002 children's picture book by Mem Fox and illustrated by Tricia Tusa.

It is about a wizard's hat that appears in a crowded park and alights on people's heads, turning them into various animals.

Then, the hat's owner, a wizard, shows up and restores things back to normal.

A review in Booklist of The Magic Hat wrote: "The bouncy rhyme is fun if undistinguished, but the artwork, in its oversize format, overflows with good humor".
