The first audiobook I finished to listen. Thank you Libby!

I Want My Hat Back was cute. This one isn't. I wish I could say exactly why. Chemistry?

Not *quite* as good as I WANT MY HAT BACK but still hysterically funny.

Lesson learned: just because you want something, doesn't mean you should take it (especially from someone larger than you!)

a small fish steals a hat from a large fish and is convinced he got away with it. Illustrations show an entirely different reality in which the large fish tracks down the little fish and gets his hat back.

OK, Jon Klassen is brilliant. How much can you say with one eye? A lot. I like how this keeps the motion moving from left to right (pages turning in a slow-motion animation of the simplest sort) while the text tells a different story that lets the reader feel in-the-know. Darkly hilarious.
