Jon Klassen's book definitely deserves the Caldecott Medal as half of the tale is told through subtle picture changes. The story begins with an illustration of a small fish wearing a small blue hat. He precociously states to the reader, "This hat is not mine. I just stole it."
As the story continues, the little fish gives all the reasons why he will never get caught; he is very, very sure of himself :) Throughout this telling however, the large illustrations reveal a somewhat different turn of events. That big fish just may be smarter than he looks!
I absolutely love, love, love this book! I used this as a read-aloud for early elementary-aged children and it was a big hit. They laughed out loud and had a great time predicting the outcome of the story, especially the unforeseen ending.
