This Is Not My Hat

A tiny fish swims into view wearing a round blue hat that fits him perfectly. The trouble is, it isn't his, and the enormous fish it belongs to is fast asleep. Surely he won't wake up. And even if he does, he'll never figure out what happened... right?

Jon Klassen's deadpan, darkly funny follow-up to I Want My Hat Back won the 2013 Caldecott Medal, and this sturdy board book edition brings the story to the youngest readers. The visual humor does the storytelling, as little ones spot what the narrator doesn't want to admit, making it a favorite for read-aloud giggles.
