This Is Not My Hat

LoveReading4Kids Says

Francesca Simon, Guest Editor February 2021: "Stunning picture book about a little fish who has pinched a big fish’s hat, trying to convince himself that he’s got away with it. Meanwhile, the wronged fish is in hot pursuit. I actually screamed when the two adversaries vanish into the big, tall plants. My favourite kind of picture book, where words and pictures tell a subtly different story. Genius."

.....................................

Best-selling illustrator Jon Klassen follows up his successful I Want My Hat Back in this witty, almost wordless picture book about a tiny fish who steals a hat from a very big fish – and hopes to get away with it. The eloquent but simple illustrations show the audacious behaviour of a hapless fish heading for disaster.

Young children will love the joke...and the fact that they know what the little fish doesn’t.
