I adore the stories Jon Klassen creates, the illustrations are fabulous and the expressions with the animal's eyes are just brilliant. Particularly loved the wit in this tale - oh, and the snake's beret

The dry humor Klassen is known for is on display. Entertaining read. Not my favorite of his, but a worthy entry. 

Illustrations created digitally and in watercolor.

Three hatted friends and their lives before and after a rock falls from the sky. Dry humor and wonderful illustration. I'm a sucker for watercolors :) Illustrations created with watercolors and digital magic.

Those who didn't understand Lincoln in the Bardo will be at a complete loss over this one. Chapter 4 is an absolute delight yet is outdone by Chapter 5.

Jon Klassen’s books are perfect for a cynical adult to read to an innocent child.

Another classic Klassen - expressive characters, gorgeous illustrations and irony out the whazoo! I loved this one a LOT. This is not my hat is still my ultimate favorite of his but this is right up there too. Highly recommend for Klassen fans!
