This Is Not My Hat
Klassen, J. (2012). This
is not my hat. Somerville, MA: Candlewick Press.
This book is author Jon Klassen's follow-up to his first bestseller, I Want My Hat Back. In this story a little fish is wearing a little blue hat that seems to be made just for him. However, he is honest to admit that he in fact stole the hat and plans to get away with it as long as the owner never finds him. He makes the mistake of being a little overly confident and telling a crab. Soon the reader no longer sees the fish, only the hat!
The illustrations in this book go perfectly with the simple humor of this little fish seemingly escaping from a much larger fish with a stolen hat. I love the two wordless pages where the little fish hides among the tall seaweed and then we see him no more. Kids will love guessing what could have happened to him.
