Book: Bagel's Lucky Hat by Hector Mumbly and Dave Cooper

Poor Bagel, he wakes up one morning to realize he's lost his lucky hat! His friend Becky helps him mentally retrace his steps, but the story Bagel tells of yesterday's adventures quickly gets out of hand. Laughing fishes? A mad scientist? A space-travelling robot? Bagel's story is just too silly to be believed ... or is it?
