This is not my hat

Klassen, J. (2012). This is not my hat. Somerville, Massachusetts: Candlewick Press.

This is Not My Hat is a story of a small fish who thinks he can get away stealing.  He takes the hat of a much larger fish when it is sleeping.  When the large fish awakes, it realizes his hat is gone, and goes off to find it.  The small fish did not count on a witness telling the large fish where the small fish was hiding.  In this book we see very simple, but effective art. We see dark colors to represent the deep of the ocean.  Klassen used shapes such as ovals to illustrate the fish and the leaves.  In addition, lines were used to illustrate the plants of the ocean. 

If you enjoyed This is Not my Hat, you are sure to like Fish Story by Katharine Andres.
